What is recorded here

Drum Castle, Walled Garden in Aberdeenshire still holds a bothy, an unclassified structure and a walled garden, though no date or owner has been recovered for them. The wall may have excluded people or shaped the garden, and the bothy may have fed the hands that tended it. A castle can disappear from memory while its kitchen and guard room wait behind hawthorn, still answering the shape of the work they did.
