What is recorded here

Aboyne Castle, Walled Garden, Wee House is a small garden house and walled garden in Aberdeenshire, recorded for the Post Medieval period. The castle name suggests a larger residence once stood nearby, while the wee house and garden point to a quieter domestic life where people grew food, kept warm, or simply enjoyed a sheltered corner of the land. Whether it belonged to a castle family, a keeper, a farmer or a later household, the place still asks to be imagined as lived in: a kitchen garden behind walls, a little house for tools, seeds or rest, and a castle memory carried in the name.
