What is recorded here
Dalhousie Castle and its walled garden stand in Midlothian, Scotland, recorded as a farmstead and garden without a clear period. The walls may have held kitchen herbs, private flowers, or food for the household, while the castle loomed above domestic labor. A person could have walked that garden at dawn, carrying water or picking vegetables for the table. The place still keeps the shape of that repeated work, even when the names and dates have faded.
