What to see at Brechin Castle

Nestled beside Brechin Castle, the 13-acre Walled Garden is considered one of Scotland’s finest private gardens.

Dating back to the early 1700s, its current design was shaped by William, the 1st Baron of Panmure, in the late 18th century. This historic garden features ancient trees that have stood for centuries, alongside beautifully landscaped grounds that offer year-round charm.

In spring, vibrant rhododendrons and azaleas line picturesque gravel pathways, while winter highlights the elegance of formal topiary hedges and statues.

Whether you’re admiring its rich history or seasonal beauty, the Walled Garden is a truly enchanting experience.
