--------------------------------
The following is from "Scotland and her Tartans" by Alexander Fulton.
The first known Fraser in Scotland was Simon Fraser, who in about 1160 donated the
Church of Keith to Kelso Abbey. The name came from the lordship of LaFraseliere in
Anjou, and a descendant of Simon Fraser, Sir Gilbert Fraser, established the main line
of the family in about 1250 at Touch-Fraser, Stirlingshire. His direct descendant,
Alexander Fraser was knighted by King Robert I (the Bruce) before the battle of
Bannockburn in 1314. After the battle he married the Bruce's sister, Lady Mary - who
had been strung up in a cage for four years by King Edward I of England in reprisal for
the Bruce's coronation - and he was later Chamberlain of Scotland. Their grandson
gained the lands of Philorth in Buchan by his marriage in 1375.
