What is recorded here

Duns Castle, Walled Garden stands in the Scottish Borders as a formal garden stripped of its castle, preserving the geometric skeleton of a residence now lost. Stone walls still mark the boundaries where kitchens, halls or chambers once stood, inviting imagination to complete what decay removed. The garden becomes a measuring tool for forgotten scale, its lines still visible though the building that gave them purpose has vanished.
