Created c.1809, the walled garden is said to have been based on an Indian fort. The centres of the east and west walls bore circular crenellated towers. The north wall had a tall, slim square granite ashlar fronted tower topped off by a crenellated parapet.
Information taken from Ian Shepherd, 1994.
The decaying ruins of Auchernach walled garden were recorded as part of a RCAHMS photograph survey, during October 2000. The garden is associated with Auchernach House, which was built in 1809 and demolished in 1945 (see RIAS guide for Gordon, and Groome's Gazetteer). The remains of the rubble-built walls are impressive, being extensively crenelated, and having a round tower in both the west and east walls, and a tall square-section tower in the north wall.
Visited by RCAHMS (MKO), October 2000.
