What is recorded here

Tulliallan Castle and its walled garden hold a 19th-century garden frame, later joined by 20th-century glasshouses and a sundial. The walls exclude everyone unless permission is given, but the glass and stone still measure human ambition against Fife weather. A sundial in a private garden becomes a small joke about ownership when sunlight touches every wall at once.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Tulliallan Castle, Walled Garden, Glasshouses and Sundial as Glasshouse(s) (20th Century), Sundial (20th Century), Walled Garden (19th Century). 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.

Tulliallan Castle was built by the Lindsay family in the 17th century and is remembered as a historic family seat with significant architectural and horticultural features. The castle and its 19th- and 20th-century additions, including the walled garden and glasshouses, reflect the estate's long-standing role in Scottish landed society and landscape design.
