Description

A large, rectangular-plan walled garden with high granite rubble and coped walls, likely to have been built in the early 19th century as part of Pittodrie House estate improvements. The south wall is slightly lower in height and at each corner the top of the wall is shaped into a convex curve.

Off-centre to the west of the north wall is a lean-to glasshouse. It has a coursed rubble base, topped with two courses of brick. The rectangular panes of glass are in timber frames. Adjacent to the glasshouse is an opening in the wall with a decorative iron gate. There is also an entrance opening in the centre of the south wall with a decorative iron gate.

In the centre of the walled garden is a circular bed edged with moulded stone. To the west is a horizontal sundial mounted on a shaped baluster pedestal with a square plinth base.
