What is recorded here
No visible garden or castle chamber remains in the facts. The walled garden may have vanished, been rebuilt or never formed. A sundial still marks the edge of human knowledge, measuring shadow instead of truth.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Kellie Castle, Walled Garden as Sundial (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.
Kellie Castle, Walled Garden is associated with the Leslie family, who held the lands of Kellie from the 14th century. The castle and its garden are remembered for their historical and architectural significance, particularly the walled garden which is among the finest surviving examples of a 17th-century Scottish garden.
