Greywalls, East Lothian, (also known as High Walls), Gullane, Scotland

This site is NOT open to public.

Brief description of site

The early-20th-century ornamental gardens at Greywalls are associated with the house built by Sir Edwin Lutyens in 1901. The core of the grounds is a walled garden with curving walls at either end, which is divided into several compartments. The original structure remains although the planting has been modified over the years, most recently in the style of Gertrude Jekyll.

Brief history of site

Greywalls was built in 1901 by Sir Edwin Lutyens for a keen golfer and the grounds laid out at the same time. Family tradition holds that Gertrude Jekyll helped Sir Edwin Lutyens with the garden. Sir Robert Lorimer built an extension in 1911.
The house has been in the hands of the Weaver family since 1924. In 1948 it was opened as a country house hotel and from 2008 it has been an exclusive-use venue for conferences and private parties.
