What is recorded here

Fyvie Castle, Walled Garden stands in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, a green room built around stone rather than a house around garden. The wall does not keep out rain or wind, it keeps out forgetfulness. Inside, plants still perform their old human job: feeding memory, marking seasons, giving shape to time. The castle may have changed hands or rooms, but the garden admits one unchanged truth, a life measured in growth and loss.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Fyvie 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.
Fyvie Castle, Walled Garden is part of the historic Fyvie Castle estate, which was originally built by the Keith family in the 13th century and later held by the Marquesses of Huntly. The walled garden, though undated in the record, is significant as part of the extensive historical landscape associated with one of Scotland's most important and well-preserved castles.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
