About Scotland’s Gardens Scheme Open Garden: Craigfoodie

Unusually, Craigfoodie House sits in its walled garden and the garden itself is on a sloping site, with the view from the upper terraces stretching beyond the garden into the valley below. The walled garden is quartered: the clock lawn is an original feature, as is a plump topiary bird. The parterre with its weeping silver pear trees, the malus lawn, pump garden, fountain garden and herbaceous border are traditional but recent features. An under-planted, pleached lime hedge, shrub rose border and a corridor of espalier fruit trees divide the various sections of the walled garden. Enjoy the Mediterranean-style terraces, informal woodland garden, the grass tennis court and planting of young trees and shrubs (a current development area) and a stroll round the Knoll to its magnificent viewpoint.
Craigfoodie has featured on the Beechgrove Garden and in articles in several national magazines.
Directions: On A91 from Cupar to St Andrews turn left at Dairsie School then follow signs.
