Description

The Walled Garden at Lunna House, dating from the earlier 19th century, consists of a series of drystone walls that create a roughly triangular garden to the southeast of the harbour. At the checked western corner of the southern wall, there are square rubble gatepiers. The eastern and western walls gently curve to meet at the northern end, with the western wall continuing north to connect with a lime kiln at the harbour. There are lower internal cross walls running east to west, and a beach-stone ball finial is located at the eastern corner.
