Scope and Content 'Laigh Biggins', Castle Fraser, Aberdeenshire, from south-east The 'laigh biggins', or 'low buildings' were constructed in 1631 by Andrew Fraser (1574-1636). The two long wings contain service quarters, including servants' accommodation, the kitchen, brewhouse and bakehouse, as well as a dining room and music room for the Fraser family. Carved initials in the dormer windows represent Andrew Fraser and his first wife, Elizabeth Douglas. In 1976, Castle Fraser was given to The National Trust for Scotland. Many parts of the large building have been restored, and are open to the public. Castle Fraser is situated 26km west of Aberdeen. The oldest parts of the castle date from the 15th century, when the lands of Muchall and Stoneywood were granted to Thomas Fraser (d.1475) by King James II (1437-60). Members of the Fraser family added to the castle over the following centuries, creating a fine Renaissance castle. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
