Craigtoun Country Park
Craigtoun Country Park is a country park located approximately 4 miles to the south-west of St Andrews in the county of Fife, Scotland. The site is currently owned by Fife Council, with park amenities being operated as of 2012 by the charitable organisation Friends of Craigtoun Park.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Craigtoun Country Park )〕 The park was originally part of the Mount Melville Estate, of which was purchased by Fife County Council for £25,000 in 1947.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Craigtoun Hospital (Former), Craigtoun Park, St Andrews )〕
==History==
The Mount Melville Estate, originally called Craigtoun was one of the many Melville family estates, first acquired in 1698 for General George Melville of Strathkiness. In the late 18th Century General Robert Melville oversaw extensive landscaping of the grounds including the planting of orchards and woodland.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Historic Scotland Data Website - Craigtoun )〕 James Gillespie Graham was responsible for the reconstruction of the house between 1820-1821.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dictionary of Scottish Architects - DSA Building/Design Report (May 2, 2015, 9:15 am) )〕 The house and grounds continued in Melville family ownership until 1901 when the new owner Dr James Younger〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=- Person Page 61648 )〕 of the Younger brewing dynasty commissioned Paul W. Waterhouse to design a new mansion house and landscape the park.
Waterhouse created or modified the majority of the features which remain in the park today, including the walled garden, Cypress avenue, rose garden, Italian garden and temple (demolished by Fife County Council in 1966).〔 In 1920 Waterhouse added a series of lakes and the picturesque island village, now known as the 'Dutch Village'. A summerhouse was also inserted into eastern boundary of the walled garden.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dictionary of Scottish Architects - DSA Architect Biography Report (May 2, 2015, 9:15 am) )〕
In 1947 Mount Melville house and gardens were acquired by Fife County Council with the mansion becoming a maternity hospital and the gardens established as Craigtoun Country Park. Attractions added since 1947 include a bowling green, stage, miniature railway, and putting green. In 2012 the Friends of Craigtoun group was formed to work in partnership with Fife Council to run the amenities in the park. The summer of 2013 saw the park reopen with amenities operated by the Friends of Craigtoun and the park grounds and gardens maintained by Fife Council.
