Summary Record (2 March 2008)

Garden surrounding the headquarters of Bell's Distillers. Designed in the 1970's with a sundial designed by Ian Hamilton Finlay (removed by time of survey). The garden, known as Cherrybank garden, was open to the public with a display of the 'Pride of Perth'. The garden was the home to the Bell's National Heather Collection of over 900 varieties of heather, once the largest collection of its kind in the UK.

The garden was closed in 2008 and for sale as a devlopment site since the closure of the Bell's office.
