What is recorded here

Balnagown Castle, Gardener's Cottage stands beside Balnagown Castle in Ross and Cromarty, a small Post Medieval house reduced now to memory and marker. It may have fed the castle kitchen or given a keeper somewhere dry during Highland storms. That much is missing, but the shape of the job is plain: a person lived there, tended what the castle needed, and left the cottage behind.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Balnagown Castle, Gardener's Cottage as Cottage (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Balnagown Castle, Gardener's Cottage is part of the Balnagown Castle estate, which was historically held by the Mackenzie family of Kintail, a prominent Scottish clan with significant influence in the Scottish Highlands. The cottage is remembered as part of the broader estate that reflects the architectural and social history of Highland Scotland.
