FRASER/GOODLET

-==--==--==--==--==-

It has been undeniably established, that the earliest Scottish Frasers appear not as occupants of Highland territories, but of Tweeddale. The ancestor, it is said, was Pierre Fraser, an envoy from France to Scotland in the days of Charlemagne. Whether entitled or not to claim this high antiquity, certainly the first eminent Scot of the house was Sir Simon Fraser, Lord, in the thirteenth century, of all the upper portion of the vale of Tweed - a goodly estate, and including the two strongholds of Oliver and Neidpath Castles.
