Description

The Walled Garden at Fingask House features an extensive layout from the late 18th and early 19th centuries, constructed from boulder rubble of varying heights, with some sections coped. A semi-elliptical arch is flanked by plain niches above the drive. In the southwest corner, there is a circular shell of a former bathhouse, built from rubble and featuring brick Gothick arches. The garden also includes a baluster sundial from 1851 and a smaller, older sundial with a tapered shaft.
