Treasured Places

Drummond Castle's formal garden was first established in the 17th century. Sculpture from the earliest phase of the garden can still be seen, including an elaborate multi-faced sundial, dated '1630'. The layout of the current garden was planned in the late 1820s. The overall design is that of a saltire cross, supplemented by beds in the form of crowns and geometric patterns.
