Walled garden, still in use, and the remains of the previous Dunninald Castle, set within a designed landscape (NO75SW0042). It is divided into two sections, with a rectangular Southern section oriented roughly East/West, and a larger Northern section oriented North/South, but with a curved Eastern wall. The Southern wall re-uses the walling for the late-16th or 17th century castle that came before the present Dunninald Castle, and the Northern section have a brick inner facing, and a stone outer. The 1st edition OS map (1861) shows a long rectangular garden house almost fully dividing the North and South sections, with a glass house on the South elevation. There is a small L-plan building against the inside of the North wall. On the 2nd edition OS map (1903), an additional larger building has been added to the East of the L-plan building, another rectangular building has been added between the North and South sections, and a small building has been added to the outside of the curved Western wall. The revised 2nd edition OS map (1922) shows the glasshouse has had an extension added to the North elevation, and a rectangular building has been added to the South. There are two entrances to the walled garden, to the West and the North that each have wrought-iron gates constructed by Montrose blacksmith James Ross Brown in 1906 and 1907, one of which is decorated with the symbols of each country of the British Isles. A small shelter with a tile roof supported on Ionic stone columns was installed in the Southern section of the walled garden against the wall in 1915. This shelter contains a stone excavated by Mr Quibell in 1913 in the Coptic convent of St Jeremias, Sakhara, Egypt.
