	Simon Fraser, 11th Lord Lovat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.

		His uncle, Thomas Fraser of Knockie, prevailed upon Simon to execute an inhibition in 1587 to the effect that he would do nothing to hurt the interests of his family or prejudice his heirs, without the consent and advice of his three curators, one of whom was Sir Alexander Fraser, 8th laird of Philorth (c1537-1623).

	Simon Fraser, Lord Lovat
		Simon Fraser, 11th Lord Lovat has been described as ‘the Fox’ and ‘the most devious man in Scotland’;, epithets which are probably justified, but this makes him arguably the most colourful character of the ‘45.
		During his life Simon seems to have had only one real loyalty - to his Clan and family, and as such this explains his actions for much of his life with his obsession in gaining what he saw as rightfully his - the title of Lord Lovat and his Clan lands.
		Simon went back to his estates and bided his time, corresponding still with the Jacobites (asking for a Dukedom no less as the price of his help) whilst trying to ingratiate himself with the court in London.
