Description
A roughly rectangular plan walled garden of 1708, which may be by Alexander McGill, consisting of high, coped, random rubble and brick walls and with a concave corner to the southwest. It is situated to the northeast of Craigiehall house (LB45432). There is a red brick inner face to the north wall and an infilled, round-arched doorway with droved margins on the west elevation. There are a number of openings to the garden, including a segmental-arched red brick doorway to the north wall and two, later 20th century openings on the east wall with pairs of bull-faced, squared and snecked sandstone gatepiers.
The gatepiers, which are also likely to be by Alexander McGill, are situated at the southwest of the garden and are a pair of rectangular sandstone gatepiers between the walled garden and Craigiehall House. They have square plinths, carved panels with floreate ribbon swags to shafts and corniced coping. One has a ball finial.
