Broxmouth Park, Dunbar, Scotland

This site is NOT open to public.

Brief description of site

The basic structure of a late-17th- and early-18th-century extensive formal landscape survives at Broxmouth Park, incorporating the site of the Battle of Dunbar in 1650. Traces of avenues, of axial vistas and of a formal water garden remain as well as some 18th-century plantings in the parkland and wilderness. There are specimen trees on the lawn near the house and an 18th-century walled garden with 19th-century additions.

Brief history of site

Broxmouth Park has been associated with the Dukes of Roxburghe since the mid-17th century. The designed landscape was originally laid out in the late-17th century and was inspired by French baroque gardens. There were additions in the late-18th and mid-19th centuries.
After a period when the site was not actively managed Broxmouth Park now provides facilities for corporate events and private parties.
