Je suis prest (I am ready)
Clan Fraser of Lovat is the Highland Fraser clan, centred on Beauly and the Aird in Inverness-shire and separate from the Lowland Frasers of Philorth, whose chief is the Lady Saltoun. Its chiefs are styled MacShimidh and hold the Lord Lovat peerage. Simon Fraser, 11th Lord Lovat, the Old Fox, was beheaded on Tower Hill in 1747 for his part in the Jacobite Rising, and the family castle near Beauly was blown up by Cromwell and razed after Culloden before the present Beaufort Castle was built in 1885.
