Castle Fraser


Castle Fraser, the most elaborate Z-plan castle in Scotland, was built between 1575 and 1636 by the 6th laird, Michael Fraser. One of the towers is seven stories high. The castle contains many Fraser family portraits, including one by Raeburn, and fine 18th and 19th century carpets, curtains and bed hangings. One of its most evocative rooms is the strikingly simple Great Hall. Hidden trapdoors reveal secret stairs and a spy hole. The 350 acre estate includes a walled garden.
