Brechin, Brechin Castle, Walled Garden

Walled Garden (period Unassigned)

What is recorded here

Brechin Castle and its walled garden stand in Angus, Scotland, marked on the national record with a precise point but no certain date. The wall suggests a closed world where green things grew under watchful eyes, perhaps belonging to the castle's keepers or perhaps abandoned before memory faded. Whether the garden still holds life or lies buried under grass, the boundary remains a fact: a line drawn around growth, waiting for someone to walk it.
