CHAS’ & SUSAN’S
EXCELLENT UK ADVENTURE
Fraser Castle Interiors

The Great Hall

is in the upper floor of the original hall.
The fireplace is 16th century.

The original stone peeks through here and there. I’m not sure who “plastered” over it (that likely occurred during the 18th century, to keep the drafts out). But, during restoration, the Scottish Trust ensured that some could still be seen.


The Dining Room
is in the 1630’s eastern wing.
The Library retains the original
bookcases and wallpaper from about 1839.
The large windows throughout the castle were built in the 18th century to let in
more light. Originally, all the windows were incredibly small – often only slits.


The Pink Room contains all original
furniture. That’s a “hip bath”
next to the fireplace.
The Worked Room is named after the 18th century needlework bed-hangings, curtains and seat furniture.
Check out the steps next to the bed:
the top lifts up and there’s a CHAMBER POT inside!

The Michael Kitchen

is on the ground floor of the
late 16th century Michael Tower.

The walls at ground level were 12 or more
feet thick! To put in the “modern” window
(18th century?), they carved away much
of the wall’s thickness in that area.


The Laigh Hall (left) is on the ground floor of the original castle. “Laigh” is Scots for “low.”
The bells are attached by wires to the Bell-Pulls in the various rooms.
Since this is now part of the public “Tea Room,” I snuck a (blurry) pic o’ the bells!
