Carolside House, a 366-acre Sanctuary of Pre-1900 Gallica Roses

In Scotland's Borders, a 366-acre estate nurtures a national collection of pre-1900 Gallica roses, set against a backdrop of an 18th-century house bridging tradition with centuries-old trees and a grand fireplace.

The 366-acre estate of Carolside, situated a mile north of Earlston in the Scottish Borders (formerly Berwickshire), features a late-18th-century B Listed Building. This building showcases a drawing room sourced from Baronscourt, County Tyrone, circa 1948, which boasts a fireplace designed by Pietro Bossi. The walled gardens are home to a national collection of pre-1900 Gallica roses, with the grounds nurturing trees over 200 years old. Park Bridge, a late-18th-century balustraded arch bridge, connects Carolside House's policies with Leadervale across the Leader on the other side.
