Welcome

It has been our family’s honour to create, restore and care for one of Scotland’s hidden treasures for almost 300 years. These important historical Gardens, situated on an isthmus, consist of 300ha (75 acres) of sculptured landscapes, and magnificent avenues radiating out from the iconic Castle Kennedy ruins. Described as ‘one of the showpieces of Galloway’, it is one of Scotland's most important historical landscaped gardens with its collection of Rhododendrons, Championship Trees and rare species.

The Gardens are perfect for exploring and provides a fun day out for families, with a charming Tea Room, Gift Shop and Plant Centre.

We warmly welcome you to the Gardens and we look forward to seeing you soon.

The Earl and Countess of Stair

Castle Kennedy Gardens

We are so sad to hear of the death of Richard Baines, Curator of Logan Botanic Garden, during Storm Boelo last weekend.

Richard was a true plantsman, admired across the horticultural world, but to us here in Galloway he was also a wonderful friend and neighbour. He was always generous with his time and knowledge, always happy to share advice, and his enthusiasm for plants was infectious. We will treasure the plants he recently gave to our gardens, which will be a lasting reminder of his kindness.

He did so much to put the gardens of this corner of Scotland on the map, and he will be hugely missed by all of us.
Our heartfelt thoughts are with his family, his friends and everyone at Logan and the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh. 🌿 ... See MoreSee Less

Castle Kennedy Gardens

Due to storm damage, the Gardens will unfortunately remain closed tomorrow, Thursday 29th October.
But we have some good news! We're delighted to confirm that we'll be open on Friday, Saturday and Sunday for one final weekend of Halloween fun! 🎃

Our Midnight Garden Trail will be ready for explorers to solve the spooky clues and the Tearoom will be serving plenty of delicious food and sweet treats to enjoy after a walk around the Gardens.
As we close for the season after Sunday, this is your last chance to enjoy the Gardens before we reopen in spring.

We'd love to see you for one final autumn adventure! ... See MoreSee Less
