Pitmedden Garden, Renaissance garden in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

The garden contains six parterres arranged on three levels within high stone walls, featuring over 30,000 annual bedding plants in geometric patterns.

Sir Alexander Seton, Lord Advocate under Charles II, established this formal garden in 1675, drawing inspiration from French garden designs at Versailles.

The Museum of Farming Life within the estate displays agricultural tools and equipment, illustrating traditional Scottish farming methods through historical exhibits.

Located one mile west of Pitmedden village on the A920, the garden maintains over five miles of boxwood hedges and includes a tearoom for visitors.

The orchard contains more than 130 apple varieties, producing approximately 2.5 tonnes of fruit annually to support the garden's maintenance costs.
