A walled garden lies to the north of Ballindalloch Castle, reached by a short path leading through an area of woodland. It was constructed about 1830, after a flood in 1829 destroyed its predecessor.
The garden is roughly square in shape, and is bounded by rubble walls. There were entrances at the north and south, which contained ornamental iron gates. A map published in 1890 shows that the garden was divided into four parts by two paths, and paths also run alongside the wall.
A small bothy is built against the exterior of the north wall. Constructed of rubble, with a slate roof, it would have provided a place to rest on walks around the grounds and gardens. In 1996, the interior of the garden was redesigned, with colourful plants and curving paths, to celebrate the 450th anniversary of the castle.
