Culzean Castle Polices, Swan Pond

Drain (period Unassigned)(possible)

What is recorded here

Culzean Castle Polices, Swan Pond is a possible drain beside the castle, its water hidden beneath grass or stone rather than open to view. The swan pond gives the place its life, but the polices remind that water must leave before the ground fails. Together they show a castle not as a static monument but as a working household, shaping rain, soil and air to remain standing.
