CRUISING TO SCOTLAND:



GLAMIS CASTLE

​page two


Glamis Castle, Scotland

The Gardens

Picture
The grounds surrounding Glamis were landscaped by the famous English landscape architect Capability Brown in the 18th century. As a result, the castle sits in a picturesque park-like setting.

Immediate;y adjacent to the castle is the Italian Garden. It is a formal garden, laid out by the Queen Mother's mother around 1910. Surrounded by tall banks of yew trees, gravel paths run between the beds of flowers. A raised terrace with two gazebos provides a vantage point to view the pattern of the beds.

Perhaps a mile away is the Walled Garden. You get there via a path that runs through the Pinetum. Planted by the 13th Earl around 1870, the Pinetum has grown into a forest of tall conifers and rare trees.  It has the feel of a North American woodland. Carved wooden figures have been placed here and there.
​
The Walled Garden was originally built to provide food and flowers for the house. Recently, it has been redeveloped into a formal garden with a fountain and well-manicured flower beds.
