The Park is a historically-important designed landscape, listed in The Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland. The woodlands and gardens host a number of interesting historical features including an Arboretum, par 3 golf course, kids play and summer activities. The house is open to the public for free as a combined art gallery and museum and there is also a café.
