Abstract:		 An historic garden survey was undertaken at Ellon Castle Gardens as part of an assessment of the gardens before their restoration by the Ellon Castle Gardens Trust. The gardens, which are a Scheduled Monument, are situated on a series of three natural terraces above the river Ythan and comprise a lower walled garden, with an upper terrace dominated by the ruins of the old castle, originally built in the 15th century but considerably enlarged in the 18th century, and an area of woodland on a higher terrace. A detailed survey and photographic recording of all existing and visible elements of the garden was undertaken, with standing building surveys of all structures. Documentary sources, including photographs and paintings of the garden in the 19th century, were incorporated with the survey evidence to allow some understanding of the development of the garden. In addition, a geophysical survey was carried out by Rose Geophysical Consultants; the resistance survey, at 0.5m intervals, covered the walled garden, the upper terrace and a short section of the drive adjacent to the ruins of the old castle. It detected a number of anomalies which may indicate remnants of paths pre-dating the existing 19th-century path layout; it is hoped in the future to examine these anomalies with a series of small test pits.
