Amisfield In Bloom

Explore a tranquil blend of history and colour at this walled garden

- Words: BETH MCHUGH

AMISFIELD WALLED GARDEN is a peaceful haven hidden within a country estate in East Lothian. Offering visitors the chance to explore its bright colours, fresh scents and welcoming atmosphere, the garden represents the very best of community spirit.

The walled garden was built in the 1780s to supply produce to Amisfield House and wow visitors with its enchanting stone design. Sadly, the house was demolished in 1928 and the garden fell into disuse. But thanks to the Amisfield Preservation Trust, there has been a monumental redevelopment effort.
