What is recorded here

Castle Fraser is a five-storey Z-plan castle completed in 1636 for Michael Fraser, built around an older tower and shaped by master masons John Bell and Thomas Leiper. Its rooms still hold Fraser portraits, furniture and collections, while the grounds keep a walled kitchen garden and woodland walked since the 19th century. The house changed hands through Pearson and Smiley families before the National Trust for Scotland took it in 1976, preserving both its grandeur and its domestic memory.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castle Fraser as Standing Stone(s) (prehistoric). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. 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.
