Dunrobin Castle, Kitchen Garden

Toilet (20th Century)

What is recorded here

One clear fact is that the kitchen garden belongs to Dunrobin Castle in Highland, Scotland. The wall is about three metres high, made of worked stone and mortar, and it still stands beside the sea with an ornate gateway. Inside that strong boundary, vegetables may have grown, people may have walked past, and the castle household may have taken food from the soil. The garden is not a distant idea; it is a working place attached to a great house, and its wall still marks the edge where keeping a household alive began.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Dunrobin Castle, Kitchen Garden as Toilet (20th 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.
Dunrobin Castle, Kitchen Garden was part of the larger Dunrobin Castle estate, which was originally built by the Earls of Sutherland in the 13th century, with significant expansions in the 16th and 19th centuries. The kitchen garden is historically important as it reflects the agricultural and domestic infrastructure supporting the noble residence over several centuries.
