This famous summer residence of the British royal family can only be visited during spring and early summer with an entrance ticket through the main entrance. This provides access to the castle gardens and the castle ballroom, where a different exhibition is held each year. There is also a café and a gift shop. Since 2025, a few tickets per day have also been available for enthusiasts to visit the castle's private apartments in small groups, including the room where Queen Elizabeth II's last photograph was taken. Very special, but also highly sought-after and expensive.

Scotland is the land of beautiful castles. Castle Fraser is one of them

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.

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.

One of the largest tower houses in Scotland, with a core that dates from as early as 1450. The traditional walled garden is vibrant throughout the seasons, with specimen trees, herbaceous borders and a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. You can also enjoy some of the fresh produce in our recently refurbished courtyard tearoom. The extensive parkland surrounding this fortified castle inspires imaginations of all ages. Two waymarked trails offer the chance to spot red squirrels, roe deer, buzzards and dragonflies. - https://www.nts.org.uk/visit/places/castle-fraser - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castle_Fraser

The tower house here was built in around 1260. It's mainly ruined but thought to have once consisted of a single rectangular tower with walls almost 2m thick and several floors. The castle was built on the site of an older hill fort settlement which dates to around 250BCE. The hill is 268m high and offers great views in all directions. You can walk up and back from the car park in the southeast but why not make a longer loop following the path over the hill and then around the obvious loop to the north, it's about 5km.
