Border garden at Drummond Castle
Border garden at Drummond Castle
The garden appears to be modelled on the Palace of Versailles however read on.
Located in Perthshire near Crieff, it dates back to the 17th Century. The gardens were redesigned and terraced in the 19th Century. The formal gardens that you see today were replanted in the 1950s but preserve many of the original features, the ancient yew hedges and the remaining beech tree planted by Queen Victoria, commemorating her visit in 1842.
