What is recorded here

Hoddom Castle, Walled Garden, Gardener's House and Hoddom Gardens Cottage is a 19th Century walled garden and cottage in Dumfries and Galloway. The boundary wall still stands, the beds are marked, and the two small houses face one another across the garden like keepers of a private green room. Whatever family lived there, they measured their years in seed, soil and the distance between two doors.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Hoddom Castle, Walled Garden, Gardener's House and Hoddom Gardens Cottage as Cottage (19th Century), Walled Garden (19th Century).

Hoddom Castle was built in the 17th century by the Maxwell family, a prominent Scottish noble family, and later held by the Baillie family in the 19th century. It is remembered for its well-preserved walled garden and as an example of Scottish domestic architecture and estate planning.
