Gilston Castle Garden

Gilston Castle, which, when we before saw it, in 1805, then nearly completed, appeared to be in a naked, barren, hilly country, is now embosomed in woods, and all the hills are more or less covered with thriving plantations. [Editor's Note: Gelston Castle was built for Sir William Douglas in 1805, and is thought to have been designed by the Edinburgh architect William Crichton. It survives as a romantic ruin].
