K inpurnie Castle lies within extensive gardens and grounds.  A sweeping drive leads from the two principal entrances to an extensive gravelled sweep to the south and west.   Beyond are the extensive southerly lawns bounded by the mature woodlands beyond.   To the north is a balustraded terrace with gently sweeping lawns below, interdispersed with formal rose beds. Lying to the east of the castle and beyond the carriage house is an extensive walled garden extending to almost 2 acres and developed in the 1920s by Eileen, Lady Cayzer.  In the traditional Scottish style it lies away from the house and its formal flower garden would have been the focus for a gentle stroll.   Kinpurnie Castle The walled garden of today is laid out for both pleasure and utility; the north/ south axis of the flower garden provides a wonderful view over Strathmore to the hills beyond and there are strategically placed benches throughout the flower garden which boasts magnificent herbaceous borders and roses.   Beyond the flower garden is a highly productive kitchen garden providing fruit, vegetables and cut flowers for the castle.   There are also extensive glasshouses which produced house plants as well as exotic fruit and tender vegetables.  Beyond the walled garden to the east is a fieldof about 17 acres down to pasture and providing ideal grazing for horses.
