Pitmedden is a small village in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, set in gently rolling agricultural countryside typical of the north‑east. It is best known for Pitmedden Gardens, a rare survival of a 17th‑century formal layout created by Sir Alexander Seton; the garden’s symmetrical parterres, clipped yew hedges and large maze, now cared for by the National Trust for Scotland, draw visitors and give the village a strong cultural identity.
Day‑to‑day life in Pitmedden reflects the rural economy - arable farming and local trades - while many residents commute to nearby towns and to Aberdeen for work in services and the energy sector. The community remains close‑knit, centred on its village hall, church and school, and benefits socially and economically from the steady flow of visitors to the gardens.
