About Scotland’s Gardens Scheme Open Garden: Belhaven House with Belhaven Hill School
Belhaven Road, Dunbar EH42 1NN
Mr and Mrs Jon Bruneau and Mr Olly Langton
Belhaven House has four acres of formal Georgian gardens. It comprises raised herbaceous borders with topiary features for structure, beautiful abundant rose archways and a walled vegetable and fruit garden with box-edged borders. There is also a woodland area with specimen trees dating from the early 20th century and in springtime this area is carpeted with daffodils and bluebells. The garden has been associated with a succession of people interested in plants since the 19th century, most notably Sir George Taylor, a former director of Kew Gardens.
Belhaven Hill School Originally called Winterfield House, the school has retained the garden in front of the walled garden which is accessed through an ornate gate and archway and is laid to lawn with box-edged borders, some containing wildflowers. A gate from the playing field leads to the Belhaven House garden.
Directions: By car, approaching Dunbar from A1 on A1087, Belhaven House is opposite Brewery Lane on the junction with Duke Street and the school entrance is a further 300 yards past a high stone wall. Public transport — bus X7 to Dunbar from Edinburgh.
Other details: Tickets and parking for both gardens will be in the school grounds through the school gates.
