The main entrance to the kitchen gardens at Taymouth is a lofty Gothic gateway, perhaps a little too high for its base or the size of the garden, but not so when contrasted with the magni- ficent scenery that surrounds it. The entrance to the gardens at Drum- lanrig is through a piece of flower-garden ground of considerable extent; it opens upon the principal range of hothouses from the centre of the east wall. The entrances to those at Dalkeith open from two points as marked on the plan, (Plate V.,) being the nearest and most direct way from the house. Both of these are at the south-east side, the one winding through the lower garden or orchard, which is of very diversified sur- face, and terminating at the centre of the south wall by an arch and open pair of iron gates, which face the front range of hothouses. In passing through the large or central walled garden, two large gateways, fig. 13, one at each end of the Fig. plant stove, which is the centre house of this range, open upon the back ranges of hothouses with the three ranges of pits in front.
