More Than £5,000 Raised so far in Crowdfunding Appeal for Historic Haddington Garden Wall

Wall nearing completion in August 2026.

Final Call to Help Us Achieve our Ambitious Target!

Our Crowdfunding Appeal to rebuild a big section of the collapsed Haddington Garden’s 17th century wall at St Mary’s Pleasance has now raised over £5,000! The local master masons at East Coast Masonry are doing a beautiful job, as you can see above.

Severely storm-damaged several years ago, the collapsed wall, is jointly owned by East Lothian Council and Haddington Garden Trust. The total cost of the restoration works is over £65,000.

We still hope to raise a further £10,000 or more from the local Crowdfunding Appeal. So, please keep donating, no matter how small your contribution!

Karen Stevenson, chair of Haddington Garden Trust, said: “Please give a little and help us to repair the damage so that we can continue to welcome over 10,000 people every year to appreciate the beauty and peace of this special place.

“We are delighted and very grateful for all the contributions we’ve already received.”
