What is recorded here

Hoddom Castle, Walled Garden, West Potting Shed stands in Dumfries and Galloway as a small outbuilding beside a larger estate. It may have stored pots, soil or tools for the walled garden, yet no date or owner is recorded. The castle and garden suggest a household that shaped land and measured pleasure in growth. The west shed remains a humble room for that older, patient work.
