Open: April-September
Immerse yourself in history and granduer at Drumlanrig Castle and Country
Estate. You’ll enjoy the gardens whether you’re an avid gardener or a complete
novice. The lovingly tended 40 acres offer both inspiration and relaxation and
the garden’s colourful heritage and rich diversity are almost as inspiring as the
sights and smells of the plants themselves.
Strongly influenced by the Victorian Era the gardens are steeped in historical
design and architecture but with modern additions. The lawns and new mixed
95927 shrub and herbaceous borders now provide a scenic location for private events.
The new double border is planted with contrasting foliage and flowering
shrubs and climbers to give structure, colour and scent as well as seasonal
interest. The shrubs and trees are underplanted with a variety of perennials and
spring bulbs extend the colour and interest further.
Open: As you stroll through the formal gardens you can’t help but admire the 183m
