About this place

Walled garden, ice house and castle ruin set in parkland on the edge of Kilsyth.

This walled garden on the edge of Kilsyth sits alongside an old ice house and the ruins of a castle, giving families a compact mix of garden, history and parkland within a single site. The ice house, used before modern refrigeration to store ice cut from local ponds through the winter, is a genuine curiosity that tends to interest children once its original purpose is explained. The surrounding parkland offers further walking beyond the garden itself. It's free to visit, with parking on site and most paths suitable for buggies.
