Lovely article. Thanks for posting the link.

Very nice read. I went on to read more of Lord Lovat and Beaufort Castle, the castle he was born in. The castle ended up being sold recently, 1994 , to the people that own Stagecoach Bus lines of Scotland and North America. I wonder how many of the castles are now no longer in the hands of families that lived there for centuries.

That is great! Thanks.

My wife's uncle was a Lovat Scout.

The Frasers trace their origins to Normandy. The name in its various forms is a variant of the French fraisier, which is an occupational name for a cultivator or seller of strawberries.

How fitting that these Highlanders distinguished themselves on the beaches at Normandy, liberating their ancestral homeland!
