What is recorded here
Fraser Policies is a post-medieval structure in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, recorded without a precise period but anchored to the Castle Fraser area. The name suggests land shaped for Fraser use, perhaps for horses, guns or ceremony, yet no surviving description confirms that purpose. The absence of detail does not diminish the place; it preserves the danger of inventing a story the evidence has not yet admitted.
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 built by the Fraser family, a prominent Scottish noble family, during the 17th or 18th century. The site is important as part of the historic estate associated with Fraser of Philorth, reflecting the family's long-standing influence in Scottish landholding and history.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
