What is recorded here

Drum Castle, South Lawn is a formal garden in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, where deliberate lines and living things share one breath. The castle overlookes the lawn, but the lawn may be the true chamber because it shapes light, shadow and movement around the stone. A person walking there at dusk would feel measured, not small, as if the garden were teaching the body to notice its own edges.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Drum Castle, South Lawn as Formal Garden (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.
