What is recorded here

Glamis Castle, Gardens occupy Angus, Scotland, beside a castle that has watched the land for centuries. The gardens hold a sundial, marking time in shadow and light, while castle windows reflect the changing sky. People may have walked these grounds for pleasure, prayer or pride, reading the sun’s movement as a reminder that life passes quickly. The castle still stands, unchanged in its certainty, while the gardens breathe and shift around it.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Glamis Castle, Gardens as Garden(s) (period Unassigned), Sundial (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 100m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Glamis Castle was originally built by the Keith family in the 14th century and later held by the Douglas and then the Graham families, becoming the seat of the Earls of Strathmore. It is historically important as the childhood home of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother and for its association with Scottish nobility and literature, including Shakespeare's *Macbeth*.
