About this place
Stand before one of the largest tower houses in Scotland, with a core that dates from as early as 1450. Explore the grand hall and towers, discovering the colourful history of the Fraser lairds.
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.
Keep an eye on our regular events programme throughout the year at this atmospheric, family-friendly property.
