Title

Castle Fraser, Sauchen

Description

Castle Fraser is one of the grandest of the Scottish Baronial tower houses, a building to be savoured with its fine examples of towers, crow-step gables and coats of arms to name but a few delights. A walk round the castle is like viewing a huge piece of sculpture as the architectural details of the building shift, changing their shapes and relationship with each other and the surrounding landscape.
