| Written by John Anderson and published in1825, the full title of this
publication is "Historical Account of the Family of Frisel or Fraser,
Particularly Fraser of Lovat, Embracing Various Notices, Illustrative
of National Customs and Manners, with Original Correspondence of Simon,
Lord Lovat".
Containing 222 pages, the author of this considerable work took as his
subject not only the House of Fraser but also its interaction with
events of the day over the many centuries in which the Frasers were one
of the greatest of all Scottish families.
It begins with a discussion of the origin of the family of Fraser and
its introduction to Scotland and continues with much historical and
genealogical detail to the last in the direct line in 1306. Anderson
then moves to a discussion of the next collateral male line and the
origin of the family of Fraser of Lovat down to its conclusion with the
death of the last direct male line in 1696. Next, he discusses the
appearance of Thomas Fraser of Beaufort and continues to the failure of
that line. He then turns to the Frasers of Inverallochy and Brea.
Finally he looks at Thomas Fraser of Knockie and Strichen and proceeds
through Thomas Alexander Fraser of Lovat and Strichen. The amount of
detail included in this study is impressive and undoubtedly is useful
to the historian and genealogist studying this important family of
Fraser in Scotland.
