What is recorded here
Yes. There is a garden at Darnaway Castle, recorded for the Post Medieval period in Moray. Whether it kept flowers, herbs or only the memory of hands in soil, that much has gone quiet. The castle and garden still belong to the same place, even when one part has become harder to imagine.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Darnaway Castle, Garden as 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.
Darnaway Castle, located in Moray, Scotland, was built by the Clan Grant in the 16th century and later held by the Mackintoshes of Darnaway. It is remembered as a historically significant stronghold associated with the Jacobite uprisings and as the childhood home of Flora McDonald, the famous figure linked to Bonnie Prince Charlie.
