Scope and Content This 8-page report records the results of a ground resistance survey carried out at the request of the National Trust for Scotland in the walled garden at Greenbank House, Glasgow, on 4June 2013, to look for evidencec of the layout of the earlier formal garden. Results showed a high resistance lane running centrally through the garden from the house to the gateway in the opposite garden wall, probably a path a 7-metre low resistance square in the centre of the western half of the garden (and possibly also one in the eastern half, where however the plot is more confused); a faint edge near the west edge of the plot, about 2 metres in, suggesting a path or a border; and a faint partial circle of about 14 metres diameter near the house in the eastern half of the garden.
