Agnes McDouall

Agnes McDouall (n. Buchan-Hepburn) (27 September 1838 – 15 March 1926) was a Scottish gardener and plant collector.

[1] After the birth into a family of keen gardeners and plant collectors at Smeaton Hepburn, East Linton, her father extended the forests by introducing new conifers that were found by Scottish plant hunters like Robert Fortune and David Douglas.

[1][2][3] In 1869, she married a landowner James McDouall and relocated to his historic family estate at Logan, close to Stranraer.

She brought her own collection of roses, lilies, and shrubs, along with the connections with plant hunters.

The plant collection at Logan was later to become famous under her sons, Kenneth and Douglas's management.
