Scotland's Gardens - Kemback House and Gardens

Spectacular borders in the walled garden.

The gardens and parkland at Kemback house were open today for the first time under Scotland's Garden scheme. It was a beautiful warm and sunny day, probably the best of the summer so far.



The head of the fountain that feeds the rill that runs through the walled garden. The rill is planted with shade and moisture loving ferns and white flowers.

Kemback House. The tour of the house, which included some amazing period and contemporary paintings, sculpture and ceramics, was very well worthwhile and a chance to see round a house not usually open. The house and gardens at Kemback date back to the 15th century when they were owned by the Archbishop of St Andrews and the University.
