Fraser Htg. OC

Description

The Frasers were a family of probable Norman French descent, given lands in the Scottish Lowlands in the 12^th century, expanding throughout much of Scotland in the following centuries. The clan have held several castles throughout their existence including Castle Fraser in Aberdeenshire. The principal Highland branch of the family, of Lovat, remain historically prominent for the political intrigue of Simon Fraser the ‘Old Fox’ during the 1715 the 1745 Jacobite Risings. His and others’ advice to King George I to organise independent Highland companies to patrol the Highlands led to the creation of what became the ‘Black Watch’.
