Craigtoun Country Park

In the late 18th century General Robert Melville oversaw extensive landscaping of the grounds including the planting of orchards and woodland.

The principal amenities currently in operation at the park are the 'Puffin' Billy' vintage tractor, the Craigtoun Miniature Railway, bouncy castle, putting as well as rowing boats and pedalos sited on the Dutch Village lake.

The park comprises woodland, water and marshland habitats in addition to maintained areas of grassland, tree plantations and formal gardens.

Notably there survive within the park examples of Portuguese laurel, yew, Wellingtonia planted during the landscaping works executed by Waterhouse.

[3] Craigtoun is also home to a variety of wildlife including a healthy population of mute swans, mallards, grey herons, red squirrels and European water voles.
