Murdostoun Castle, Garden Cottage and Walled Garden occupy a narrow strip of North Lanarkshire where stone, soil and memory still tangle. The castle name hints at murder or loss, yet the garden suggests patience, patience with seasons and patience with forgetting. A cottage beside such a place may have belonged to someone who tended what the castle refused to release.
