A fascinating historic garden laid out on a narrow isthmus between two lochs, Castle Kennedy Gardens are based around the romantic ruin of an authentic 14th-century castle. The remarkable micro-climate of the area, favoured by water on three sides and the moderating influence of the Gulf Stream, means that many exotic plants can grow and flourish here.

Craigieburn is a delightful Nepalese garden just outside the historic spa town of Moffat. The garden is relatively modern but is set beside a historic house dating to the 18th century. Robert Burns visited Craigieburn (long before the gardens!). The garden incorporates unusual Himalaya plants and has Nepalese touches like shrines and prayer flags to add a distinctly Asian flavour.

Historic seaside gardens laid out in the 1740s around Galloway House, the seat of the Earls of Galloway. Though the house itself is not generally open to visitors, the gardens are regularly open and well worth a visit. Galloway House was built by Lord Alexander Garlies, son of the 5th Earl of Galloway, on the east coast of the Machars of Galloway, looking out over Cruggleton Bay.
