Fordell Castle, Walled Garden in Fife, Scotland, holds a modern glasshouse beside an 18th Century walled garden, marking two eras of cultivation in one breath. The wall may have blocked wind or stolen glances, while the glass still warms fragile life against the Fife chill. Together they suggest that people kept forcing nature into shape, layering new ambition over older patience.
