24 THE CLAN OF FRASER. War Cry:-" A Mhor-fhaiche" ("The Great Field"); and later "Caisteal Dunie* ("Castle Downie"). Clan Pipe Music: Lament "Cumha Mhic Shimidh" (" Lovat's Lament"). March "Spaldsearachd Mhic Shimidh" ("Lovat's March"). Badge: lubhar (Yew). [HE Erasers are not of original Gaelic descent, but their name yields to few in Scotland for antiquity, and the time of their settling there is uncertain, though MacKenzie and Martin say they are descended from Pierre Frasier, who came to Scotland in 790. Be that as it may, people of the surname had considerable possessions in the south of Scotland after the death of Malcolm III. Gilbert of Fraser is witness of a charter to the Monastery of Cohlstreain in the reign of Alexander L, anno 1109. Simon Fraser made many donations to the religious at Kelso in the time of David I. In the time of William the Lion, Bernard Fraser made a donation to Newbattle Abbey, anno 1178; and in the time of Alexander II. we read of Gilbert Fraser, vice comes de Traquhair, Bernard Fraser of Diem, and Thomas Fraser, 1226 et 1230. But it is difficult to connect these Frasers with each other, though doubtless they came of a common stock. Sir Simon Fraser of Oliver Castle held a high place among the Magnates Scotice in the troubles after the death of Alexander III. He won the three battles of Roslin in one day in 1303, and was basely put to death in London by Edward I. ; but his brother Alexander carried on the line of the family, and seems to have been the first Fraser who possessed estates in the Highlands. He \\as killed at the battle of Dupplin. His grandson fell at Halidon Hill in 1833, leaving a son Hugh, first designed of Lovat, and progenitor of the Frasers of Knock and Foyers. Hugh, sixth of the family, and second of Lovat, was made a Baron by James I. about 1460 ; Thomas, second Lord, lost his son, the Master, at the battle of Flodden ; and Hugh, third Lord, was slain in a battle with the MacRonalds near Lochlochy in 1544, when they and the Frasers fought with such rancour that only ten men a-side survived. Hugh, ninth Lord of this line, dying without male issue, Simon Fraser, younger, of Beaufort began to style himself Master of Lovat, while his* father took possession of the estate and honours of the family ; but eventually, after many discreditable acts, and having letters of fire and sword issued against the whole clan, Simon fled to France about 1698, while his father became Lord Lovat. Simon eventually became eleventh Lord Lovat, and his character and fate in 1740 are prominent features in the civil war of that calamitous time. His title was attainted. It was revived as a British peerage in 1837, when Thomas Fraser of Streichen and Lovat was created Lord Lovat, and became twenty-first chief in succession from Simon Fraser, though the title has been subject to some dispute. Lord Lovat died in 1875, and was succeeded by his son Simon, who died in 1SS7, leaving Simon, present Lord Lovat. The Frasers, Baronets of Ledclune, descend from Hugh, first Lord Lovat through Alexander, his second son, and are now represented by Sir Keith, fifth Baronet. The Frasers of Saltonn are descended from William, second son of Sir Alexander Fraser of that Ilk, taken at the battle of Methven in 1308. William obtained from his father the Thanedom of Cowie and lands of Ashintully. He was slain at the battle of Durham in 1346. His son Alexander fought with valour at Otterburn in 1388. His grandson William, designed Dominus de Philorth, died in 1441. Sir Alexander, fourth of this line, and Baron of Philorth, accompanied James, Earl of Douglas, to the great jubilee at Rome in 1450; and Alexander, fifth Baron of Philorth, was in arms for James III. at Sanchieburn. Sir Alexander, ninth of this family, raised a regiment for the King's service and fought at Worcester ; and on the death of his cousin, Lord Saltoun, without issue in 1O8, he was serve.! heir of line to George, Lord Abernetliy of Saltoun, his grandfather, and hid descendant Alexander is now eighteenth Lord Saltoun.
