Fraser
Coat of Arms
The Frasers probably come from Anjou in France, and the name may derive
either from Fredarius, from Fresel or from Freseau. It has also been
suggested that they descend from a tribe called Friselii in Roman Gaul,
whose badge was a strawberry plant.
They first appeared in Scotland around 1160, when Simon Fraser held lands
at Keither in East Lothian. About five generations.....
