Statement of Interest

A Group with Baberton House (see separate listing). The pediment above the doorway to the walled garden is suggestive of the work of James Murray (the architect of Baberton House), and was quite possibly part of the original SE elevation before the 1765 infill. However, it is difficult to accurately date the garden, especially as no potting sheds and greenhouses survive.
