Kinross House Gardens
Wednesday 01 July 2026

Construction of Kinross House began in 1685, one of the most important neoclassical Palladian mansions built in Scotland, with a historic view of the Castle where Mary Queen of Scots was imprisoned. The house was landscaped and planted with a formal garden before construction so it would be set in a mature landscape and was Sir William Bruce’s greatest masterpiece. In 2011 a total renovation, a ‘labour of love’ of the house and the original formal gardens was started, allowing the present day drama of space, sky and horizon to retain its impact.
