Scope and Content Stable Block courtyard, Castle Fraser, Aberdeenshire, from south The stable block was built in 1795, and is arranged around a quadrangular courtyard. It was designed by the architect John Paterson (d.1832), and, like the castle, is built from blocks of local granite. This photograph shows the two-storeyed, eastern part of the block, which used to contain the estate offices. The stable accommodation was located in the western part of the block, which is single-storeyed. In 1948, the stables were converted into a large house, the entrance of which is visible to the left of the arched pend. Parts of the building are now used as offices for The National Trust for Scotland, while the rest has been divided into a number of private flats. Castle Fraser is situated 26km west of Aberdeen, and is now owned by The National Trust for Scotland. The oldest parts of the castle date from the 15th and 16th centuries, but the estate buildings and designed landscape were mostly constructed during the 18th and 19th centuries.
