Description
A walled garden, likely constructed in the latter part of the 18th century, is located at Kersewell House. The garden is enclosed by plain rubble-built walls with ashlar coping, forming a quadrangular area, with the main entrances situated to the north. A 19th-century pheasantry is centrally positioned within the garden and is constructed from stugged ashlar with a facetted slate roof. The pheasantry is octagonal and two-storied, with the lower level set below the main ground level and accessed from the west, and the upper level featuring windows and a north-facing door.
