A-Group with Cammo House, Bridge, Quadrant Walls, Boundary Walls, Rubble Bridge, Stable Block, Knoll and Water Tower. The walled garden was built by Charles Watson over a ten-year period. It was a large garden covering 2 ? acres. It was divided into two parts, one part was probably a hot house as the remains of a fireplace can be seen. The construction of the wall, although predating Nicol's SCOTCH FORMING GARDNER, is a good example of the instructions set by Nicol: 'where the wall is not composed entirely of brick, it should at least be lined'. Using different material in the construction of a walled garden was quite common as it resulted in different conditions thus determined the types of plants that would be planted.
