Description:
Applegarth House, the original Manse to Applegarth church, has a wraparound garden including a productive kitchen garden with a large fruit cage and greenhouse. Appropriately, new apple trees have recently been planted to replace the old. This is a spring garden with a glorious spring bulb display of narcissi, snowdrops and bluebells against a backdrop of a mixture of flowering shrubs. Applegarth House hosts B&B guests who can enjoy attractive outdoor dining and seating areas with wonderful views across Annandale. This is the clan seat of the Jardines and at the end of the garden is a 12th century motte, once the Jardines’ stronghold, providing an attractive vantage point to look at the house and garden.
