Hi, and many thanks for your review. We're all sorry to hear you felt a visit to the castle and gardens was not what you were expecting. The walled gardens is full of both ornamental planting and produce. much of which is for sale once in season, and its all grown on organic principles. We are guessing that you paid for entry into the gardens which at only £3 for adults and £2 for concessions represents good value. As a member, you can of course receive free parking and free entry at all our sites as well as those of the National Trust in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Please note that we are still in catch up after the covid pandemic, a time when the National Trust for Scotland, which is charity, nearly didn't survive at all. It will take us some time yet to get all of the gardens and estate back into shape again, as we don't use pesticides or other chemicals to manage the gardens. The café is closed as we are unable to find people who are able to operate it. What we do now have is a mobile kiosk offering artisan coffee, drinks and cakes. We hope you might visit us again where we'd be delighted to show you the work that goes into running the gardens and the castle for all to enjoy. With best wishes,
