This special experience takes place within the Italian Garden, a space laid out in 1910 by the Countess Cecilia and treasured by the Queen Mother in her childhood. Guests gather on a raised terrace framed by pleached beech and the soft sound of a stone fountain. The tea includes homemade scones, savouries and traditional Scottish treats for £29.95. Guests should note the gardens lie about a ten-minute walk from the castle, where the nearest restrooms are located. It’s a moment of calm and reflection at the heart of a living family story.
