Description

The Walled Garden at Cawdor Castle features some sections of the medieval castle wall that have been incorporated into a large garden, likely dating from the late 18th century to the early 19th century. The wall is constructed of coursed rubble and has a single pitch dressed coping that slopes on the outer side. Additionally, a short length of the early wall still stands within the walled garden.
