A fine example of an 18th century walled garden and an important integral part of the Carriden Estate. The associated gardener's house was classical in design but is now ruinous and the area overgrown (2004). Walled gardens were an essential part of a large estate helping to provide a range of vegetables, fruit and flowers for the landowners use, as well as occasionally providing a recreational function.
Part of a B-group with Carriden House, The Steading, Ice House and West Lodge.
