Dunmore Pineapple

The Dunmore Pineapple is a historically significant decorative pineapple-shaped garden feature built in 1761 in Scotland. It consists of a sandstone structure resembling a large pineapple, created to showcase wealth and hospitality. Unique for its detailed craftsmanship and symbolic of status, it was originally part of Dunmore Park’s estate landscaping. The pineapple shape historically represented luxury and warm welcomes in Europe. Today, the Dunmore Pineapple is preserved as a cultural monument, appreciated for its architectural ingenuity and as a symbol of 18th-century aristocratic taste.
