What is recorded here

Benholm Castle, Walled Garden stands in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, though no date or visible boundary remains certain. The castle and garden may have shared one life, with walls built to keep out weather rather than thieves. A person may have walked that garden at dawn, listening for birds or waiting for news from the road. The exact shape has faded, but the intention remains clear: a private place made beautiful and defensible at the same time.
