Garden House, Culross Abbey House

Garden House, dated 1674, is located to the east of Culross Abbey House, accessible via a terraced walk that leads eastwards. The path features stone setts on either side of a centrally flagged area, which ends at pavilions, with a gravel path beyond. Stone steps lead to a terraced lawn southeast of the house, flanked by a corniced stone balustrade. A rubble garden wall extends eastward from the north of the eastern pavilion, featuring projecting blocked coping stones and a door to the west. A seat made from three carved window pediments from the house, each with foliate finials, is positioned adjacent to the south elevation of the garden wall, with the central pediment initialled 'DMB' for Dame Magdalen Bruce.

The Garden House itself features an elliptical arch with a moulded surround, corniced imposts, and a keystone carved with a plaque. Flanking fluted pediments and a moulded cornice are present above the arch, along with foliate detail in the angle between the arch and pilaster. A frieze above the arch includes plaques, with the central plaque dated 1674, surmounted by a cornice. The piended roof is covered with diagonally laid stone tiles, which are also used for the floor. The garden wall sweeps down to the south, with a door to the right leading to the stables. The wall then turns eastward and continues as a brick wall made of narrow red bricks, divided by three continuous bands of yellow brick. The wall sweeps to the west and features a projecting flat stone wallhead, before terminating and continuing southward as a stone wall that sweeps to the north, with a break in the wall to both the north and south.
