What is recorded here

Hawthornden Castle, Walled Garden stands in Midlothian, Scotland, as a 19th Century walled garden beside the castle. Its boundary still draws a visible line around beds and paths that have outlived the hands which first arranged them. People may have walked that line for centuries, tending plants or simply watching the weather change the colour of the walls. The garden keeps doing what gardens do: turning time into shape.
