Pitmedden Garden
As we move out of the coronavirus lockdown, we’re pleased to be able to welcome back visitors to our estate. Many of our buildings (historic buildings, visitor facilities, cafés and shops) and the garden will remain closed for the rest of the year. The toilet facilities at Pitmedden are closed. We urge people to follow Scottish government advice to carefully observe social distancing.
Planning your visit
We want you to enjoy your visit to the grounds – your safety is our priority. This means we’ve had to make some changes so that we can keep everyone safe. Please read our Guide on what to expect before you set off.
Dogs are welcome on the woodland estate but not in the walled garden (except for assistance dogs).
For more information about planning your visit, please see the drop-down facilities below or our frequently asked questions.
