What is recorded here

Castle Fraser Policies holds a turf bank beside Castle Fraser in Aberdeenshire, marking the kind of practical boundary people built when stone walls proved too costly or stiff. The earth may have caught rain, blocked carts, or simply marked where private land stopped and common field began. That much is preserved in the official name, though the human hands that lifted the soil have faded from the story.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castle Fraser Policies as Turf Bank (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.
