As a mark of respect, Archerfield Walled Garden in its entirety will close on the day of the Queen’s funeral - Monday 19th September. We will open as normal again the following day. The Douglas-Hamilton family have a long running link to the monarchy and just yesterday, the 16th Duke of Hamilton, as bearer of the Crown of Scotland, played a key role in the service at St Giles’ Cathedral, placing the Crown of Scotland onto Her Majesty’s coffin as it lay at rest. His grandfather, the 14th Duke of Hamilton also played a key role when the Queen was welcomed to Scotland in June 1953, after her accession to the throne, and is pictured receiving the Crown of Scotland from Queen Elizabeth II. The grounds will remain open for those out walking. #monday19thseptember2022 #archerfieldwalledgarden #eastlothian #dirleton #queenelizabeth #queensfuneral

70 years since her coronation. A life of service and dedication. Our Queen, we thank you.

Please note, if you are visiting the Garden Café this week or next, that our outdoor area and play park will be closed while we undertake repairs to the covered canopy which suffered storm damage earlier this year. Work is expected to take around two weeks, however, we will post an update when it’s finished and space is open again. We apologise in advance for any disappointment this may cause and invite you to enjoy the other beautiful outdoor spaces on the estate - before or after your visit to the Garden Café. #archerfieldwalledgarden #gardencafe #eastlothian #eastlothiancafe #dirleton #archerfieldestate
