Drumlanrig Castle, Gardens & Country Park
Drumlanrig Castle, Gardens & Country Park date back to the time of William Douglas the 1st Duke of Queensbury. Work began on the gardens around 1689 creating a grand formal terrace garden. The garden today has undergone major restoration in recent years with the newly restored Victorian Greenhouse, vegetable garden and plant centre, selling a wide range of quality plants, many of them raised in the gardens. Within the gardens you may pass one of the first Douglas Firs planted in the country, the tallest weeping Beech in the British Isles or one of the recently restored Victorian Heather houses.
