Tracing a descent from Anglo-Norman knights who first settled in Scotland in the mid-twelfth century, the Frasers of today can lay claim to a truly martial heritage, with their name ultimately originating from ‘Friselli’, a ferocious tribe who battled against the Roman legions in Gaul.
• First found in Scotland in the Borders, they later acquired other territories that include, much further north, Inverness-shire and along the Beauly Firth.
• At great cost to themselves, the Frasers were stalwart in their defence of the nation's freedom and independence, fighting at the side of William Wallace and the great warrior king Robert the Bruce.
