The Walled Garden
If you’re looking for a great day out in North-East Scotland, visit our beautiful Walled Garden at Gordon Castle, which is being lovingly restored to its former glory. Over two hundred years old, it is one of Scotland's largest and oldest walled gardens. With 259 espaliered fruit trees including some rare varieties that gives the keen gardener plenty to admire.
It is a place of beauty and calm for all to enjoy and has been re-designed by multi award-winning garden designer Arne Maynard to give a modern twist in a traditional design. This productive Walled Garden changes with the Scottish seasons making each visit different. You can see our dedicated team of gardeners hard at work, digging, hoeing, sowing or harvesting. The new childrens natural play area evolves continually so it really is a great place for a perfect family day out in Speyside.
