Duncraig Castle, Walled Garden

Walled Garden (period Unassigned)

What is recorded here

Duncraig Castle, Walled Garden stands in Highland, Scotland, a boundary drawn around living things rather than a chamber for people. The wall may have kept out wolves, weather or wandering knights, while inside the soil gave back vegetables, herbs or flowers to those who tended it. Whatever grew there, the garden still works: a small rectangle where human hands forced nature into a shape worthy of remembering.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Duncraig Castle, Walled Garden as Walled Garden (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.
Duncraig Castle, Walled Garden is associated with the historic Duncraig Castle, which was built in the 13th century by the Clan Donald. The walled garden is remembered as part of the estate that reflects the architectural and agricultural practices of the medieval Scottish nobility.
