What is recorded here

Niddry Castle, Walled Garden stands in West Lothian, Scotland, a bounded garden beside castle ruins where intentional cultivation once shaped the land. The walls suggest exclusion as much as protection, keeping out rain, wind, or curious neighbours while holding warmth for tender plants. People may have walked those paths to grow food, decorate tables, or simply watch seasonal change inside a small made world. The garden still belongs to human patience, even when forgotten.
