What is recorded here
Quarry Gardens Temple stands inside the Gordon Castle estate in Moray, Scotland, where stone and garden still belong to the same governing hand. The exact position is known to the nearest metre, yet the site resists easy public entry and keeps its own private rhythm. A temple built beside a quarry suggests people once shaped rock into meaning rather than merely removing it.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Gordon Castle, Quarry Gardens Temple as Garden Temple (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.
