Formerly the policies of Dysart House, built to replace Ravenscraig Castle (granted to Lord Sinclair in 1470), the Park boasted a large walled garden (now Ravenscraig Nursery) and was connected with Dysart House by two bridges over Hot Pot Wynd. Dysart House (listed separately) and policies were purchased from the 5th Earl of Rosslyn in 1896 when he was bankrupted, the new owner (Sir Michael Nairn) donated the policies to the town in 1929, at which time the W (and probably the E) gates were reconstructed.
