These historically inspired socks draw their design elements from the impressive sculptural facade of Castle Fraser. The granite walls and decorative stonework of the castle is interspersed by many regularly placed windows while the top of the might round tower is encircled by a ring of beautifully carved stone balustrades.

Bring a little bit of Scottish history and architecture to your feet!
