What is recorded here

Brodick Castle, Lower Walled Garden stands in North Ayrshire, Scotland, a bounded green space beneath castle shadow. The exact wall line remains unrecorded, but the name suggests gardens made for private pleasure rather than public display. That uncertainty is not a gap, it is the shape of the place: a castle keeping its garden to itself.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Brodick Castle, Lower Walled Garden as Walled 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.

Brodick Castle, including its Lower Walled Garden, was built by the Stewart (later Stewart of Garlies) family in the 17th century, with later enhancements by the Kennedy family, who held the Isle of Arran from the 15th century. The castle and its gardens are important as a historic seat of the Kennedy Earls of Cassillis and as a well-preserved example of Scottish castle architecture and formal garden design.
