What is recorded here

North Lodge still stands beside Castle Fraser in Aberdeenshire, its gate piers marking the entrance without record of when they were built. Stone does not need to date itself when it has spent centuries directing people toward one place. Walk past the lodge and imagine the drivers, visitors and owners who read that stone as permission to approach.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castle Fraser, North Lodge as Gate Pier(s) (period Unassigned), Lodge (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.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
