What is recorded here
Castle Fraser Policies holds a small pond beside the great castle in Aberdeenshire, marked on official maps but never assigned a clear era. Water has likely filled that depression since long before humans drew borders, reflecting castle walls and passing clouds while people came and went. The pond may have served horses, mirrored feasts, or swallowed secrets dropped by lonely walkers. It still waits patient beside stone, measuring centuries in ripple rather than date.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castle Fraser Policies as Pond (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.
