Calderwood Castle, Terrace

Terraced Garden (period Unassigned)

What is recorded here

Calderwood Castle, Terrace is a terraced garden in South Lanarkshire, Scotland, recorded without a date because its shape predates the usual labels. The land may have worn the marks of hands long before anyone thought to measure it. That much is missing, but the stones and soil still hold the shape of human patience.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Calderwood Castle, Terrace as Terraced 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.
Calderwood Castle, Terrace is part of the historic Calderwood Castle estate, which was held by the Maxwell family in the 16th century. The terrace is significant as a surviving feature of the castle's landscape, reflecting the architectural and horticultural practices of the Scottish nobility during the early modern period.
