Castle Fraser Policies

Structure (period Unassigned)

What is recorded here

Castle Fraser Policies is a post-medieval structure in Aberdeenshire, built or changed between 1561 and 1899. The name suggests a managed boundary or policy area rather than an open hall, perhaps marking where private land ended and public tolerance began. That quiet line may have shaped local behaviour for generations, reminding people that even generous landscapes keep edges.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castle Fraser Policies as Structure (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.
Castle Fraser Policies were developed as part of the estate of the Fraser family, who held the lands of Philorth and Fraser in the parish of King's Wark, Berwickshire, from at least the 16th century. The policies are remembered for their historical association with the Fraser clan and their role in the management and enhancement of the surrounding landscape and estate.

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