Pitmuies Gardens

Reviewed By MTN1983 - Edinburgh, United Kingdom

We visited here on a whim having stopped at Guthrie church to show our young boys where we’d been married. What a beautiful garden, clearly a real labour of love. We visited on a sunny day in July so the garden was in bloom and just open after lockdown. The garden has great variety from the flower garden, to the woodland and meadow. Look forward to returning and would highly recommend visiting if you are in the area.

We were so pleased we visited here. Staff were so helpful and managed to research family connections of generations ago. Can’t thank them enough. Found a good home at Archives for a large framed photo that none of family wanted and was relevant to Angus area.
