What is recorded here

No visible garden remains at Dunbeath Castle, Southern Walled Garden, though it belonged to the post Medieval period and once shaped the castle estate in Caithness. Its walls may have held kitchen herbs, flowering borders or simply marked a private place beside the house. Whatever grew there has gone to soil and memory, leaving only the possibility that people still walked among beds no longer named.
