The 150 acres of paths and trails around Hopetoun House in South Queensferry are a relaxing way to spend a few hours, there are a number of trails marked out for people to follow, and the super friendly gate-lodge staff answered any questions we had such as 'Where's a good Picnic Spot?'...
From the Lime Tree Walkway, through the Bowling Green, Spring Walk and onto the Coast Walk Hopetoun offers some spectacular view points over the Firth of Forth and some wonderful picnic and relaxing spots!!
There are a whole series of events which run in the ground around Hopetoun House, such as 'Wildlife week', 'Feed the Deers' and many guided walks and tours, the Whats on Section of the Hopetoun House website shows many details
Below is a simple slideshow showing a few sights from around the gardens, but the best way to experience the grand grounds of Hopetoun House is to visit!
For maps and history of the gardens visit the listing on the Inventory of Historic Gardens and Landscapes of Scotland , and on the Historic Homes Association website
