The castle and the grounds can be visited and explored. There are two or three small walks from the castle car park, all way-marked, taking you through the grounds and woodlands of the Castle Fraser estate and can fill an afternoon.

The magnificent Castle Fraser, one of the largest tower houses in Scotland, was the ancestral home of the Fraser of Muchall family. Its history can be traced back to the 15th century. Numerous interesting features in the castle indicate that the Frasers were quite an illustrious family.
