Dog Notes:

Dog Considerations:

  • Leads: Dogs on leads are generally welcome in the **woodland and parkland areas** of the Pitmedden Garden estate. However, within the highly manicured **formal Great Garden (the main parterres), access for dogs is usually restricted to assistance dogs only** to protect the intricate flower beds, historic design, and for the comfort of all visitors admiring the detailed horticulture. **It is ESSENTIAL to check the current National Trust for Scotland dog policy for Pitmedden Garden on their website *before* your visit**, as rules can vary for different parts of the estate or during special events.
  • Water: Water bowls may be available near the tearoom/visitor facilities. Carry fresh water if exploring wider estate paths.
  • Wildlife: Woodland birds, red squirrels in the estate woods. Waterfowl if there are ponds.
  • Dog Bins: Likely available near the main entrance, car park, and tearoom area. Less likely on more remote woodland paths.
  • Hazards: If dogs are permitted in any garden areas, be extremely careful they don't step on beds. The estate can be busy.
