NT 00400 87300 A photographic and drawn survey was produced of five structures at Valleyfield in advance of restoration works. Built at the behest of Sir Robert Preston of Valleyfield in the early 1800s, these constitute the surviving remnants of the only Repton designed landscape in Scotland.
The structures consisted of two ornamental stairs in the walled Flower Garden, a rusticated arch to the NW of the Flower Garden, and two rusticated bridges. The bridges were located on the driveway through the valley of the Bluther Burn, which once led to the now demolished mansion of Valleyfield.
