CULBOCKIE. — The name of the ancestor of this family is involved
in some obscurity. The MSS. state him to have been William, second son
of Thomas, fourth Lord Lovat ; and yet it appears, that James, the third
son of that nobleman, had a royal charter of the lands of CiUbockie and
Kinkel, 25th October 1542. The father ef the present William Fraser,
Esq. of Culbockie, was di'awn, by the solicitations of his chief, when very
young, into the ill-advised insurrection of 1745. His grand-father re-
mained firm to his allegiance ; yet the royal troops, punishing the parent
for the child, wantonly set fire to the family mansion.
BELLADRUM. — These Frasers are sometimes said to have sprung
from the Lovat family, in the person of James Fraser, son of Thomas,
fourth Lord ; wliilst other authorities set them down as cadets of the fa-
mily of Culbockie, being descended of the second son of Culbockie, son
of Lord Lovat. " They formed numerous aUiances with the Mackenzies
of Coul, Gairloch, Applecross and Davochmaluack, and the Chisholms
of Chisholm. One of their remote ancestors was a member of the Scot-
■tish Parliament, ' and severals attained distinction in the Swedish armies.
James Eraser, Esq. now represents the family of Belladrum.
