The King's Knot, at Stirling, is a good, early example. This formality gave way to more informal landscape gardens in the late 18th century, only to return to fashion around 1900. Edzell is one of the finest examples of the early, formal style, laid out in 1604 by Sir James Lindsay and restored in the 1930s. The east, west and south walls are decorated with carvings of the planetary gods, the liberal arts and the cardinal virtues. A summer house occupied the south-eastern corner and a bath-house the south west. A contemporary described the gardens as 'far exceeding any new work of their times.'
