thirteenth Lord Lovat and after political career,
during the course OF which he betrayed every
cause with which he connected he finally met
death at the hands of the executioner Tower
Hill. in the Tower of London in 1871, his name be-
ing execrated TO this day throughout the length
and breadth of Scotland. IN the history Of which
he figures for all time as Lord Lovat the Traitor
His eldest son, Simon, showed such devotion to
the Hanoverian cause. entering the British army
and distinguishing himself a general in the
American War for Independence, that King George
III restored 70 him his fathers estates. though
not his title. Dying without issue in 1872, his
brother Archibald succeeded to the estates. When
Archibald died without issue, in 1875 the direct line
OF Lord Lovat the Traitor became extinct. The
next heir TO the estates Thomas Alexander
Fraser of STRICKEN, the descendant Of the sixth
Lord Lovat. who died in 1857. He stood high in
the graces Of Queen Victoria. who not only caused
the attainder Of the harony of Lovat to be re-
pealed recognizing him fourteenth Lord Lovat,
but likewise created him a peer Of the United
Kingdom. He died in 1915. His son Simon, who
succeeded him. met his death in a shooting acct
