What is recorded here

Applegarth is an apple-yard where Jardine chiefs stood beside a possible medieval monastery, linking Norse naming to Scottish clan memory. Edward I passed through in 1300, and later Sir William Jardine studied nature from that same river-bank world. The old church nearly vanished before clan descendants helped pull it back, as if the valley itself refused to forget being witnessed.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Applegarth as Monastery (medieval)(possible), Tower House (medieval)(possible).
