To celebrate the millennium, the Duke and Duchess of Roxburghe commissioned the construction of an ornamental parterre on the Queen’s lawn by Floors Castle.
I found it a little disappointing that provisions haven’t been made to view the whole design of the garden from a higher viewpoint.
This reminded me of the garden in Torosay Castle in Scotland.
It’s such a lovely place!
That is a place I have never heard of, let alone visited…
It does look very lovely! And I agree, a higher view point would have been good.
Thank you
What would that higher viewpoint be? Is there a rampart or something of that nature?
There are no ramparts, but there was a slightly raised area built in. It just wasn’t high enough.
It looks great. A vantage point to see it in full would be great. Perhaps there wasn’t a good location for one?
An attempt had been made, but it wasn’t high enough to get the full view.
I hope you left a comment in the suggestion box, Cherry?
I didn’t but I should have done. It started to rain around lunch time so we moved onto somewhere else.
so nice!
I like it very much !
I am glad you do
Gosh, yes, you’d have thought that would have been a given. The design looks good though …
I like the design very much.
That is exactly what I thought when I tried to take photos here, I wanted the viewpoint to be higher. I would rather that they didn’t have the sign at all and the “art” of it would be to work out what it was meant to be.
If the viewpoint was higher, the sign wouldn’t be needed. Although I do like to have everything explained in the guidebook for future reference.
