What is recorded here

Brodick Castle, Lower Walled Garden stands in North Ayrshire, Scotland, its boundary marked only as a wall with no assigned period. The exact position is known to the nearest metre, yet the wall itself resists dating, refusing to hand over its age or purpose. It may have guarded vegetables, excluded strangers, or simply divided one estate from another. The stones remain quiet about which.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Brodick Castle, Lower Walled Garden as Wall (period Unassigned). 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.
Brodick Castle, Lower Walled Garden is part of a historic estate associated with the Clan MacQuarrie and later the Clan Campbell, dating back to at least the 13th century. It is important as a surviving element of the Brodick Castle estate, which has historical and archaeological significance in the Isle of Arran's medieval and later landscape.
