Walled Garden, Currie House

This is a late 18th-century walled garden located near Currie House, now part of the Borthwick Castle estate. The garden has a near-quadrangular plan and is constructed from random rubble walls with polished dressings, which have been droved to the margins, and rubble coping. There is evidence of heightening, particularly along the northwest wall. A low entrance is situated on the north side, featuring long and short red sandstone dressings and a boarded timber door. A secondary entrance is on the southeast side, also with a boarded timber door. A lean-to building is incorporated into the northwest wall, with a replacement corrugated iron roof and doors, and stone skews. The wall extends to Currie Bridge in the southwest corner (which is separately listed). The southwest wall was obscured by trees in 1997 and its integrity at that time was uncertain. The garden’s interior was overgrown when inspected in 1997. A waisted sundial is located at the center, although its gnomon is now missing. The sundial is documented on the first edition Ordnance Survey map from 1852.
