if you have been watching “outlander” you are familiar with the Fraser family. What I learned is that more than 1000 years ago in France someone offered the king strawberries, maybe which they grew. The king gave them the name open “strawberry” in French which became Frisel when the family moved to Normandy. And 1000 years ago they went to Scotland to fight the Danes and were duly knighted given land by the local Lord near Aberdeen. They change the name to Fraser and started this castle with just the main tower. It is now kept with its Fraser family contents exactly as they were since the last owner decided to give the castle to the national trust. It is one of the best examples of Scottish history in its original place.
