Background
In 1931, the Scottish Captain Neil Mc Eacharn decided to buy the property where the gardens stand today to transform it into an exemplary English garden, albeit with greater softness and richness of tones, to remind him of his native Scotland. The stages of the creation of the gardens saw different work phases, until their completion in 1940.
