Eglinton Castle

Previous - Next

Eglinton Castle is placed in a dull flat situation, surrounded by abundance of wood, including some very large beeches. There is an extensive kitchen-garden, and many hundred feet of hot-houses; but, in consequence of the minority of the owner, the grounds are not kept up as they ought to be. There is a gardener's house, all frontage and show, but very small and inconvenient within.
