The historic gardens at Pitmedden are home to vibrant floral designs and deep history. Sir Alexander Seton created Pitmedden Garden in the 17th century, which stayed in the family before being gifted to the National Trust of Scotland in 1952.
During World War II, Pitmedden was the area chosen for a Prisoner of War camp. This could be found on the south side of Bronie Burn, on Oldmeldrum road. During the Transco Gas Pipeline excavation, two crashed aircraft from the war were unearthed.
While Pitmedden is a small village, there remains a host of things to do:
-
Pitmedden Garden
This National Trust for Scotland garden is a star of Aberdeenshire scenery. The garden is the largest surviving parterre in Scotland, dating from 1675 and has a range of geometric beds, including the Seton coat of arms. Built by Sir Alexander Seaton and his wife, Dame Margaret Lauder, the site once also had a grand house, which was unfortunately destroyed by fire in 1807. The garden is now a beauty spot, with adjoining museum of farming life, tearoom and shop filling out the vibrant area. -
Museum of Farming Life
The Museum of Farming Life helps visitors to get a feel for what farming in the 1900s was like. There are several displays, including old farming equipment and tools, as well as stables of horses and several orchards. It makes it the perfect place for walks with family and pets and a great place to explore.
