Castle Fraser, Garden & Estate, Inverurie, Aberdeenshire One of Scotland’s largest tower houses
Castle is one of the grandest castles of Mar and was built between 1575 and 1636 and is an amazing place to visit.
Castle Fraser has been home to several notable Jacobites, including Charles, 4th Lord Fraser. Charles accidentally died by falling from a cliff whilst attempting to escape Government troops in 1716.
But the Frasers’ allegience was not always clear cut. In fact Clan Fraser was split during the Jacobite rising of 1715. While some, like Charles, supported the Jacobite cause, there were many who supported the British Government, including Simon ‘the Fox’ Fraser, Lord Lovat.
