One of the UK gardens
The grounds of the 16th Century Lauriston Castle offer views across the Firth of Forth in a wood and parkland setting. There are manicured lawns in contrast with woodland walks and a range of trees and plants in the elegant gardens including azaleas, rhododendrons, beeches, sycamores, sweet chestnut, conifers and monkey puzzle trees. Among the woods are 14 special trees planted in 1984 in memory of the 1st Battalion Royal Scots Bren Gun Carrier Platoon who were killed or died in the Burma campaign of 1943-45.
