Sadly dogs are not allowed. We gave ours a good walk and left them in the car ( obviously in the shade with the windows open and access to water. ) We then walked up to the castle, not sure if you can leave the car in the castle car park with the dogs inside, but I wouldn’t advise it anyway as no shade at all.
My husband and I are planning on visiting Castle Fraser May 19th. We are considering staying at a nearby B & B or hotel prior to visiting. Would you have any suggestions? My husband is a descendant from the Fraser Family and we have been looking forward to this day for many months. It's our first trip to Scotland. By any chance were the Fraser's golfers? Thank you.
A:
Stay at the Tor na coille..you won’t be disappointed. Excellent restaurant as well.
