Garden Styles
and Themes
Almost every style of Scottish garden
history is represented in the Trust`s portfolio - from medieval
to twentieth-century developments. The gardens also range enormously
in their size, location and the types of plants grown, giving each
one its own unique character and set of attractions. Each
garden may contain lots of different styles and landscapes and
include a wide selection of different garden themes for example
rose gardens, herbaceous borders, orchards and extensive country
parks. This section will look at examples of the different styles
which exist in NTS gardens.
Some examples of historical types are:
- The reconstructed 16th-century garden at
Culross Palace
- The 18th-century Picturesque landscape at
Culzean
- Victorian formality at Haddo and House of
Dun
- Modern creations in older settings such
as Falkland Palace, Inveresk Lodge and Priorwood
