What is recorded here

Edzell Castle, Deer Park is a medieval deer park in Angus, Scotland, where fallow deer still move through grass and shadow. Ochterlony wrote about those deer around 1682, and a 1766 estate map drew the park beside the castle. The boundary has changed, but the idea remains clear: a place set apart for animals, beauty and human pride.
