About Scotland’s Gardens Scheme Open Garden: Burnhouse

The garden surrounds the house which dates from the 17th century. Mature beech and lime trees shelter an abundance of rhododendrons and azaleas. Newer plantings of trees and shrubs add year-round colour and interest with underplantings of perennials and bulbs. Perfumed roses are along the entrance to the house and cottage. Raised beds have recently been added for vegetables, fruit trees and herbs. A colourful maple grove, a den for the youngsters and a rockery with alpines and small rhododendrons beside the burn all add interest. Cross the bridge to the main lawn which is framed with trees and shrubs chosen for different seasons. There are various seats in sheltered spots to enjoy, wildflowers and fruit trees.

Directions: At the roundabout near Tesco take the B7037 into Galston. Go over the bridge and straight ahead at the traffic lights. After 100 metres turn left following the sign to Sorn (B7037). At the outskirts of the village turn sharp right into Cemetery Road and Burnhouse is immediately on the left.

Sorry no dogs.
