What is recorded here
Darnaway Castle, Walled Garden, Gardener's House stands in Moray, Scotland, as a Post Medieval lodge and garden complex. The walled boundary suggests private cultivation rather than public display, while the gardener's house implies someone lived close enough to tend the soil every day. That much distance between kitchen and seedbed would have made the work honest, the meals immediate, and the castle less like a monument than a living household.
