  The Old Lords of Lovat and Beaufort   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
Dame Jean Stewart, Lady Lovat, died in 1622 at her favourite residence of Bunchrew, and asked to be buried beside her favourite son, Sir Simon Fraser of Inverallochy (1597-1620); her second son being Sir James Fraser of Brae (1612-1649).
Glendinning was Lovat’s creditor, or had advanced a sum of 1000 merks, and for this the latter pledged the Town and Lands of Kinmylies, in the regality of Spiny, the annual amount payable by Glendinning being 16 bolls victual, in name of ferme or rent.
Although Lord Lovat was not in favour of his son accepting a lieutenant-colonelcy in the army of Scotland, arranged by General Leslie, the Master accepted the post and, while spending the winter in Edinburgh with his wife, suffered an illness from which he died in April 1643.

However, although the Aifur is fairly small, the rivers Lovat and Kasplya were navigable only with great effort and difficulty.
Even so, it is probable that the upper Lovat and the upper Kasplya may be navigable only after snowy winters and only for a short period each spring.

Lord Lovat had too much integrity to allow anyone to believe that he was descended from Simon Fraser 11th Lord Lovat, whose eldest son Simon raised the Fraser Highlanders for service in Canada during the Seven Years War (1757-63).
Lord Lovat's connection to the early Frasers of Lovat was Alexander Fraser 4th Lord Lovat (1527-1557) through the latter's second son Thomas Fraser of Knockie (1548-1612) who married the widow of Thomas Fraser of Strichen (3rd s/o Alexander Fraser, 7th of Philorth) and settled in Aberdeenshire.
The 17th Lord Lovat's brother-in-law, Sir Fitzroy Maclean [1911-96] in the Epilogue to Highlanders, A History of the Scottish Clans [1995] noted: "The Battle of Culloden is often said to have marked the end both of the clan system and of the old Highland way of life." However, the Fraser family has survived and prospered.
