When I was doing family tree research, I found this in the Old Parochial Records of Scotland.
Susan Kirk Dean born 11/11/1787, christened 18/11/1787, father John Dean, gardener at Ellon Castle, mother Susan Kirk, witnesses Matthew and Lavinia Henry.
So in 2000, I went to Ellon, not far from Aberdeen, and found the ruins of the castle and the garden still there after more than 200 years.

Hi Edeana,
It’s great to see Ellon Garden after reading about it! It really is huge.
