Alternative
spellings are given, but some names that are listed as different may in
fact be versions of the same name. The names in square brackets,
followed by numbers, are names from the modern Ordnance Survey maps of
the district [Landranger Series], and the numbers are the National Grid
References - all references have the NH prefix. Attempts to identify
these names with modern names have not been exhaustive, but some of the
18th century names have certainly disappeared. A few of the obsolete
names were located, with Grid References, by Alan B. Lawson in his book
“A Country Called Stratherrick” (1987). -- Thanks to Professor Harry W.
Duckworth who compiled this list in conjunction with his article on the
Frasers of Dell, first published in
Canadian Explorer,
June 2000 - the quarterly newsletter of Clan Fraser Society of Canada.

It
should be noted that Simon Fraser 11th Lord Lovat was
executed for treason in 1747 and his lands and titles were forfeited to
the Crown; therefore, neither Simon nor Archibald ever succeeded their
father as 12th or 13th Lord Lovat. However, in
1774, Major-General Simon Fraser of Lovat (1726-82) was granted some of
the Lovat lands forfeited to the Crown in 1747; in recognition of his
military service and the payment of some 20,000 Pounds Sterling. Some
of the lands were sold to meet certain financial obligations of General
Fraser; on whose death the remaining lands passed to his younger
half-brother, Archibald Campbell Fraser of Lovat (1736-1815). When
Archibald died, without legitimate surviving issue, the Lovat lands
passed, by entail, to a distant cousin, Thomas Alexander Fraser of
Strichen, Aberdeenshire (1802-75) who later (1857) became 14th Lord
Lovat, but for the attainder. Abertarff was left to Archibald's only
grandson, born out of wedlock, on whose death (1884), it passed to the
new Frasers of Lovat, who presently sold it.
