NJ 72270 12550 In 2022, The National Trust for Scotland removed an area of plaster in the Great Hall at Castle Fraser, to examine a damp issue on the inner face of the N wall. This revealed two blocked openings, which were recorded before it was re-plastered. One was the inner arch of a first floor doorway that had been the main entrance to the Hall from the courtyard until c1794–99, when it was replaced by the new S entrance to the castle. Directly W of this blocked entrance, there was another blocked archway. This does not appear on the external face of the wall and it may perhaps have been an alcove for the storage of plate. A small aumbry had been built within the blocking of the alcove.
