Sir Walter Scott’s imagination and creativity extended beyond the walls of his house into the outdoors and the creation of beautiful formal gardens. Each garden at Abbotsford is distinct in character; taken together, they form three outdoor ‘rooms’ designed to offer picturesque settings for the main house. The gardens you see today are still fundamentally Scott’s work, though with certain alterations carried out by his descendants to adapt the space for the changing needs of the family. Our new Pavilion and Furnace House, offers visitors a range of multisensory storytelling opportunities, featuring light, sound, tactile and visual interpretation bringing Walter Scott's love of green spaces to life and telling the unique history of his gardens.
