Brief description of site

The designed landscape at Dalmeny includes early 19th-century parkland with extensive ha-ha walls, 20th-century mixed woodlands that replace late 18th- to early 19th-century plantings, an arboretum and a walled garden. The arboretum was developed in the late 19th to early 20th century and contains many North American conifers. The walled garden is partly grassed over and has walls over nine metres high.
Dalmeny is closed for refurbishment during 2008 and will re-open in 2009.
