The rich, fertile soil of Angus provides an ideal environment for gardening, so it’s no surprise that within this historic county in North-East Scotland there are a host of wonderful gardens to be enjoyed. Combine this with a fantastic new exhibition at the Dundee V&A Museum on garden design, this is sure to be a truly interesting tour.  

 The House of Pitmuies, with its lavishly planted herbaceous borders, is perhaps the star of the show. We see two grand gardens at Edzell Castle, which features a delightful formal garden, and at Glamis Castle, perhaps better known for its royal connections but also home to some lovely grounds. Further highlights include a trip into the Braes of Angus to see an intriguing upland garden; the herbalist’s garden at Logie House; traditional mixed borders at Dunninald, and Langley Park near Montrose, which features four separate walled gardens along with woodland and wildflowers.
