Drummond Castle Gardens is one of Europe’s and Scotland’s most important and impressive formal gardens. Located in Perthshire near Crieff, it dates back to the 17th Century. The gardens were redesigned and terraced in the 19th Century. The formal gardens that you see today were replanted in the 1950s but preserve many of the original features, the ancient yew hedges and the remaining beech tree planted by Queen Victoria, commemorating her visit in 1842. The Gardens have featured in many films, TV programmes and adverts, most notably in the United Artist feature film Rob Roy and the Starz Outlander series.

You can stay for as long as you want - minimum 30 minutes if you frog marched round but why would you want to! . It’s such a tranquil place that you need to spend time there - we loved standing on the top looking down on the gardens! A lovely place to visit!
How do I arrive if I take a bus from Auchterarder? Is it a far walk from Crieff?
A:
I am so sorry, I do not know. Went with a small tour. Check the bus routes. Very easy to get around Scotland by bus. Very reasonable and reliable bus service there. Enjoy your trip!
