What is recorded here

Fingask Castle, Gardener's Cottages and Potting Sheds stands in Perth and Kinross as a cluster of 19th-century cottages and potting sheds that served the castle's gardens. The main castle has vanished, leaving only these humble outbuildings to mark where grandeur once stood. They remain a quiet reminder that gardens require more than stone walls; they need hands, soil and shelter for the tools that shape life.
