What is recorded here

Dunfermline, Castle Drive, Pitreavie Castle, Garden and Sundial contains an 18th Century garden, a 19th to 20th Century glasshouse and a 17th Century sundial. The sundial is the oldest part, measuring daylight before the garden took its present shape. The glasshouse came later, turning heat and water into living colour. Together they mark a long sequence of human patience: first watch the sun, then tend the garden, then force life to continue through winter.
