The grounds feature the remains of Mugdock Castle, a 14th-century fortress that served as the stronghold for the Graham clan of Montrose.

The park maintains a Victorian walled garden, traditional craft outlets, and hosts regular outdoor educational programs focused on Scottish nature and environmental awareness.
