Marilyn Brown rediscovers the fascinating stories of the nation's vanished historic gardens. Drawing on varied, rare and newly archived material, a remarkable picture emerges of centuries of lost landscapes. Starting with the monastic gardens of St Columba on the Isle of Iona in the sixth century and encompassing the pleasure parks of James IV and James V, the royal and noble refuges of Mary Queen of Scots, and the "King's Knot" and the garden masterpeice which lies below Stirling Castle, the history of lost gardens is inextricably linked to the wider history of the nation.
