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.
