In 1761, a garden pavilion was constructed in the grounds of Dunmore Park. Ten years later, on his return to Scotland from duties as the Governor of Virginia, the Earl of Dunmore commissioned the addition of a huge, 8m high, domed roof in the shape of a pineapple. The property has been converted into holiday accommodation and the surrounding gardens are in the care of the National Trust for Scotland.
