What is recorded here

Garden Bridge at Stobo Castle stands in the Scottish Borders, its exact age still unrecorded. The stones may have carried lovers, traders, or fleeing families across water long before anyone wrote their names down. A bridge in a castle garden suggests privacy, ceremony, or simply the shortest route between two living areas. Whatever it crossed, it did so repeatedly, shaping the rhythm of the place long before it became a landmark.
