It is the second year that Braemar Castle has been open to the public since a major restoration project began.
The castle will open in a blaze of musket and cannon fire today as the Fraser’s Dragoons re-enact a 17th-century battle between the Covenanters and Royalists.
Volunteers have recently been granted nearly £250,000 towards the second phase of work from Historic Scotland and the Cairngorms National Park Authority.
Match-funding must be found before the essential repairs to the castle roof and harling can be made.The castle and living history camp of Fraser’s Dragoons opens at 11am today and tomorrow and battle will take place from noon to 4pm
