	Simon Fraser, 11th Lord Lovat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		Lovat was among the Highlanders defeated at the Battle of Culloden and convicted of treason against the Crown.
		Young Simon was educated at Kings College, Aberdeen, and his correspondence afterwards gives proof, not only of a command of good English and idiomatic French, but of such an acquaintance with the Latin classics as to leave him never at a loss for an apt quotation from Virgil or Horace.
		Lovat's false professions of fidelity did not long deceive the government, and after the battle of Culloden he was obliged to retreat to the Highlands, after seeing from a distant height his castle of Dounie burnt by the royal army.
