Fraser Castle - Ghosts

Fraser Castle's most famous ghost is that of its own ghost that of a princess staying at the castle who was murdered while she slept in the Green Room. According to legend, her body was dragged down the stone staircase leaving a bloody trail. A stain which could not be removed even with repeated scrubbing. As a last resort the steps were covered in the wooden panelling as seen today. Over the years many residents have reported seeing her ghost throughout the castle.

Visitors to the castle and members of staff have heard ghostly piano music, voices and whispers have been heard in the empty hall. Witnesses have seen the ghost of Lady Blanche Drummond who died in 1874. She appears in a long black gown her ghost has been seen in the castle grounds and on the staircase.

The kitchen staff have reported hearing the sound of children laughing and singing, only to find that there were no children at the castle. Recently TV's Most Haunted have carried out a paranormal investigation at the castle.

Castle Fraser has recently been used as a backdrop for some of the scenes shot in the BAFTA, Golden Globe and Academy Award winning film "The Queen", starring Helen Mirren. The castle is open to visitors from Easter to October. The grounds and walled gardens are open year round. It can be hired for weddings and corporate events and has an apartment for rent (from the National Trust for Scotland) which over looks the courtyard.
