Archerfield, Dirleton, Scotland

This site is NOT open to public.

Brief description of site

Archerfield House has been developed as a conference venue and golf course, but the basic layout of the 18th-century designed landscape remains intact. Sensitive restoration of the house and landscape has included the replanting of earlier features such as avenues.

Brief history of site

Archerfield House and the original main beech avenue date from about 1730. The present landscape was designed around 1780, probably by Robert Robinson, and incorporated the flower garden at Dirleton. The two estates were separated in the 20th century.
After a period of neglect the house was renovated and opened as a conference centre and wedding venue in the early-21st century. The parkland has been converted into two golf courses, one of which had opened originally in 1869.
