Welcome to Castle Fraser Walled Garden
Castle Fraser's gardens were originally much closer to the castle, as was typical in 17th century Scotland. In 1794, the lady laird, Miss Elyza Fraser commissioned Thomas White to draw up a plan to improve the designed landscape across the estate. This included the building of the present walled garden in 1795. The north wall was heated by a series of boilers which ran heat through a network of flues in the stone and brickwork. Three large glasshouses spanned the wall where gardeners grew figs, apricots. grapes and peaches.
The present garden layout continues in the spirit of those early days. Growing a wide range of fruit, vegetables and flowers following organic principles. This is combined with a structured planting of many unusual trees and shrubs, wrapped in a tapestry of seasonal colour provided by perennial and half-hardy annual plants.
We hope you enjoy your visit and please come again.
