What is recorded here
Castle Fraser Policies are post-medieval cisterns hidden beneath Aberdeenshire soil. They may have stored water for the estate when rain failed or thirst struck. The absence of a visible monument does not reduce their worth. Under the policies, stone chambers still hold the weight of forgotten days.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castle Fraser Policies as Subterranean 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.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
