28 GLEANINGS ON GARDENS. 



Hatton House, near Calder. 



A venerable ancient house; the grounds, till 

 lately, exhibited one of the most perfect specimens of 

 the old style in the county, or perhaps in Scotland, 

 with artificial cascades, fountains, alcoves, terraces, &c. 



Woodhouselee, near Roslin. 



A venerable and romantic house and grounds ; the 

 latter remarkable for containing the largest silver 

 fir-tree in the county, a fine terrace, walk, and 

 superb holly-hedge. Some curious ornaments, in the 

 geometric style of gardening, were obliterated when 

 the grounds were re-modelled in 1787. 



Castle Glamis. 



A very ancient building; the grounds in the 

 ancient style. 



Crathes, near Aberdeen. 



An excellent kitchen garden, in the old style, 

 with magnificent holly-hedges, abundance of prolific 

 fruit-trees, and venerable exotic shrubs. 



The following account of some English and Scotch 

 gardens is given in A Jowrney through England and 

 Scotland, by Daniel Defoe, written in 1714, 3 vols.
