OUTSIDE
The beautiful gardens were originally landscaped in 1816 and integrate into the 200 acres of parkland that make up the estate, and remain largely unchanged to this day. The unique walled garden was constructed with flues installed so that it could be heated to protect the precious fruit trees during the colder Scottish months.
With well-established woodlands, beautifully manicured lawns, an avenue of 18th century lime trees, a flower garden and many other magnificent vistas, you will find beauty and tranquillity abound in the Blairquhan Estate.

Within the estate are eight self-catering cottages, all within easy walking distance of the main Castle. The cottages vary in style from modern to traditional, and come complete with bed linen, towels, and all the equipment you might need to self-cater.
