Glenfinart House Walled Garden

Loch Lomond And Trossachs National Park Planning Authority

The walled garden at Glenfinart is a good example of an early 19th century walled garden and an unusual shape, with a bowed E wall and a curved SW corner. It contributes to the remains of the estate of Glenfinart.

Glenfinart House was built c1837 on the site of a residence of the earls of Dunmore. The walled garden probably dates to this period. What survives of the garden is a large wall c3m high of rubble with flat sandstone capstones. There are 2 main entrances, to the W and to the S. The 1st edition OS map shows the main range of buildings on the N wall with greenhouses on the interior. However, none of the greenhouses survives and the brick buildings are ruinous. The shape of the walled garden is unusual ' the SW corner is curved as the river cuts off the corner. The E wall is a long, curved wall. Immediately to the N of the N wall is a water feature, with a roughly formed vault over a stream.
