Castle Fraser Policies

Drive (period Unassigned)

What is recorded here

Castle Fraser Policies is a drive in Aberdeenshire, recorded as two post-medieval structures near Cluny. The name suggests horses or carts once moved through this spot, perhaps carrying stone, grain, or people toward the castle. The exact purpose has faded, but the drive still marks the edge of a lived estate where local traffic and castle work crossed.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castle Fraser Policies as Drive (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 Castle Fraser itself from the 13th century onwards. The policies are historically important as they reflect the layout and management of a Scottish noble estate during the early modern period.

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