Castle Douglas garden opening to raise funds for charity


Kings Grange House near Castle Douglas is set to open to the public under Scotland’s Gardens Scheme.

Throughout the afternoon there will be performances by the Kings Grange Singers and Solway Rhythm Aces Jazz Band to enhance the enjoyment of the garden and homemade cream teas will be available.




Jack Wilson and his jazz band will play throughout the afternoon and during intervals the King’s Grange Singers will also perform. It promises to be a fun and joyous programme of music to enjoy whilst exploring the garden.

Kings Grange has an extensive garden surrounded by mature trees and shrubberies, with views to the south west over the surrounding countryside. Originally Victorian, the garden is being restored by the present owners with a colourful variety of herbaceous mixed borders, beds and rockeries mainly to the front of the house.

The gardens are open from 2pm to 5pm on Sunday, July 30. Admission is £5, children free, and by arrangement until 13 August. Proceeds will go to the RNLI, Marie Curie and Scotland’s Gardens Scheme charities.

To get to Kings Grange, take the B794 north off the A75, two miles east of Castle Douglas. Kings Grange House (DG7 3EU), is approximately one mile on the left.
