LISTEN AGAIN: Traditional festive displays at Castle Fraser

LISTEN AGAIN: Traditional festive displays at Castle Fraser

This episode was first released in 2022.

As we enter December, we’re revisiting a podcast all about how the National Trust for Scotland creates and installs authentic decorations in its places. Listen in as Jackie meets Dr Jo Riley from Castle Fraser, who led a Trust research project into traditional decorations and how they have changed over time. From garlands to gifts, candles to clementines, Jo has examined exactly how previous residents in homes like Castle Fraser would have celebrated.

Jackie and Jo discuss the pagan roots of the festive season, why mistletoe didn’t always mean romance, and who it was that first brough yule logs to Scottish shores.

Find out more about Dr Jo Riley’s research by clicking here.

You can also get the latest visitor information on Castle Fraser, and all of our properties, on the National Trust for Scotland website.

Love Scotland will return in the New Year. Please remember to follow, rate and review the podcast on your podcast platform of choice.
