Kailzie Gardens

Kailzie Gardens is a 17-acre garden along the River Tweed featuring walled sections with herbaceous borders, a fountain, and a dedicated rose garden. The grounds also house a 19th-century glasshouse that remains one of Scotland's oldest and is still in use.

The site was established in 1812 and has developed into an important garden landmark. The Victorian-era glasshouse demonstrates 19th-century horticultural traditions and has been carefully preserved.

The gardens display seasonal blooms starting with snowdrops in February and continuing through daffodils and bluebells in May to summer flowers. Visitors experience these flowering phases along woodland paths and throughout the planted beds.

A courtyard cafe serves local produce on site, and a seasonal shop sells plants and gifts. Parking is available for visitors, and pathways lead through various sections making it easy to walk between planted areas and the river.

One of Scotland's oldest larch trees stands on the grounds, a quiet witness to centuries of garden tradition. The location also serves as a good vantage point for watching ospreys in the Tweed Valley during their season.
