Remains of a large walled garden, within the designed landscape of Brodie Castle (NH95NE0009). Depicted on the 1st and 2nd edition OS maps as rectangular with two pathways dividing the space into four quadrants. A small structure is shown at the northeast end of the southwest-northeast path, while a larger structure (possibly a summer house) occupies the north corner of the garden. Neither of these structures is shown on the current edition. In 2014 a standing building survey was undertaken by MAS on a collapsing early 20th century glasshouse built against the northeast wall of the walled garden, prior to its removal. The structure can be identified as a three-quarter-span peach house bought from MacKenzie and Moncur in 1912, a major manufacturer of glasshouses based in Edinburgh, Glasgow and London. Much of the glass, parts of the low brick foundation and the winding mechanism for the windows in the northern half had been removed for re-use elsewhere. However most of the timber framework and the cast iron brackets and the winding mechanism for the south end windows survived and were recorded. Photographic recording of part of the wall was carried out in 2017 ahead of works.
