What is recorded here
Darnaway Castle, Walled Garden Including East Gateway, stands in Moray, Scotland, a fenced green chamber shaped across the 18th and 19th centuries. The east gateway marks the entrance, while the walls hold back the wider world and force attention inward. People may have walked these paths to tend plants, take breath or simply watch the light change on old stone. The garden still works like a room without a roof, shaping the body and calming the mind.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Darnaway Castle, Walled Garden Including East Gateway as Walled Garden (18th Century) - (19th Century). 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, including its 18th- to 19th-century walled garden and east gateway, was built by the Mackenzie family, who held the estate for centuries. The castle and its garden are important as a historic seat of one of Scotland’s most influential clans and as an example of landscape design from the Georgian period.
