What is recorded here
Lauriston Castle Gardens is a castle, fort or tower in City of Edinburgh, Scotland. Perhaps the castle walls still hold warmth from hands that built them, while the gardens keep the shapes of feet that danced above stone. Maybe the site is a stage where human life performed joy, fear and memory before disappearing into soil.
A named place photographed at this map point in City of Edinburgh.
Lauriston Castle was built in the late 16th century by the Seton family, a prominent Scottish noble family. The castle and its gardens are remembered for their historical association with the Setons and for their well-preserved Renaissance garden features, which are among the finest surviving examples in Scotland.
