What is recorded here

Dunbeath Castle, Northern Walled Garden, Pavilion is a 19th Century laundry beside an unassigned pavilion in Highland, Scotland. The castle and garden are no longer visible on the ground. The pavilion may have stood as a small private pleasure, giving the estate a place to pause, watch weather, or enjoy the garden without clothing work. Its exact shape has gone, but the separation of domestic labour and leisure is still written into the site's name.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Dunbeath Castle, Northern Walled Garden, Pavilion as Laundry (19th Century), Pavilion (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.
Dunbeath Castle, including its Northern Walled Garden and Pavilion, was built by the Sinclair family, who held the lands of Dunbeath in the 16th century, with later 19th-century additions. It is remembered as a historic estate associated with the influential Sinclair clan and as an example of Scottish castle architecture and garden design.
