Elements of the designed landscape in the grounds of Arbuthnott House were recorded during a pre-afforestation survey by Headland Archaeology (NMRS MS 899/90, no.4). The designed landscape comprises regular fields, shelter belts, avenues and formal gardens. In particular, a tree-lined avenue (NO77NE 70) forming the extension of the Dark Avenue W towards the main road was noted within a narrow strip of mature woodland. The beech trees on either side of the drive are clearly of some age and were probably planted during the development of the formal layout of the grounds.
