Kellie Castle

Garden Holidays Banner

This gem of  a walled garden is set along the side of Kellie Castle which should be visited at the same time.
It has a spiritual atmosphere with constant birdsong and this is not surprising as it was loved and once tended by Louise Lorimer back in the late 1800s. She used to spend much time there and many of the roses which still survive were chosen by her.
Today the walled garden is divided into many sections and as well as vegetables, there are many roses, herbaceous plants, and rare vegetable varieties.
Flowers from the garden are cut regularly and used in the castle.
Make sure you visit this garden, you will not be disappointed.
