What is recorded here
Castle Fraser Policies is a garden in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, recorded as a Post Medieval structure. The exact origin and purpose remain unrecorded, leaving the place behind a private wall rather than an open exhibit. That absence of explanation preserves more than a dated description because it keeps the garden alive in the imagination.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castle Fraser Policies as Garden (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 are associated with Castle Fraser, a historic tower house built in the 16th century by the Fraser family, a prominent Scottish clan. The policies, or surrounding lands, were historically significant as part of the Fraser estate, reflecting the family's influence in northeast Scotland.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
