Clan Fraser of Lovat is the principal branch of Clan Fraser. The Frasers of Lovat have been strongly associated with Inverness and the surrounding area since the Clan’s founder gained lands there in the thirteenth century. You can see the Fraser lands near the Grants’ above the ‘SHr’ in ‘INVERNESS SHr’ on this map (spelled Frazer – ‘Frazers Followers of Lord Lovatt’).
