Kinross House in southern Scotland is one of the country’s finest classical residences, designed as his own private house by gentleman architect William Bruce in 1685. The house, with its beautiful Classical proportions based on the purity of the golden section, straddles a striking axis that runs from the estate entrance on Kinross town High Street, along the drive and through the house, bisecting the 10-acre walled garden and landing squarely on the tower of Loch Leven Castle out on the water. Over a two-year period we refurbished the landscape of this incredibly striking and romantic 90 acre estate, restoring woodland walks, creating a new kitchen garden next to the wonderful stable block, introducing a new eleven metre diameter pool in front of the house on an enlarged forecourt and most importantly completely reimagining the walled garden. We set about clearing the walled garden of outgrown view-blocking 20^th century planting and overlaid it with a meticulously planned order of pure geometry, bringing back the clarity and drama that Bruce had intended. Into this framework we planted new orchards using numerous fruit cultivars once traded between religious orders in Scotland and France, under-sown with native Scottish meadow. We set out careful mowing regimes to express historic planting areas, fully restored the central parterre and created two huge new contemporary parterres planted with species that evoke the colours and textures of the Scottish moors. The beautifully restored house is now an award-winning and much sought after venue for hire, and a terrific jewel in Scotland’s heritage and architectural legacy.
