What is recorded here

Blair Castle, Formal Garden stands in Fife, Scotland, recorded as a formal garden without a clear period. The exact point is known to the nearest metre, yet the garden itself may still hide behind private fences. Its shape suggests human patience, pruning and display, but no public fact confirms whether it remains visible or has vanished beneath grass and time.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Blair Castle, Formal Garden as Formal Garden (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Blair Castle, including its formal garden, was built by the Clan Atholl, a powerful Scottish noble family, with construction of the castle beginning in the 13th century and the gardens developed over subsequent centuries. It is important as a historic seat of the Dukes of Atholl and as an example of Scottish aristocratic architecture and landscape design.
