Back to Honorable Mrs. Fraser of Lovat (The)
HONORABLE MRS. FRASER OF LOVAT, THE. Scottish, Strathspey. A Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. The tune probably refers to Jane Fraser of Leadclure, who had married Archibald Campbell Fraser of Lovat in 1763. He was the second son of Simon "The Fox" Fraser of Jacobite fame, and assumed the Chiefship of Clan Fraser upon the death of his brother, also Simon Fraser, in 1782. The couple had five children, most of whom predeceased them. The tune is unattributed in Gow's collection, although MacDonald in his later 1887 collection credits the composition to Robert Petrie.
