This wall, which does not follow the full length of the Brierdene Burn, protects the bank from possible erosion and gives this part of the dene a more formalised parkland feel.

It contains some 327 species of trees, wild flowers, grasses and herbs and in total some 126 species of birds, 21 species of butterfly, 15 species of bumblebees and 165 different species of moths have at some time been seen here.
