Bunchrew (Scottish Gaelic: Bun Craobh, meaning "Near to the Tree") is a small village in the Highland council area of Scotland.

Under Simon Fraser, 6th Lord of Lovat, the house was expanded as a present to his wife Lady Jean, sister to the 2nd Earl of Moray.

After the purchase, Forbes is reported to have removed the motto "Fraser—Lord Lovat" carved over the front door—prompting 30 men of the Clan Fraser to smash the building's windows and destroy a mill on the grounds.

[4] During the Jacobite risings, Duncan Forbes (grandson of John and inheritor of Bunchrew House) played a large role in quashing the rebellion of '45.

He was the first to report the landing of Charles Edward Stuart in Scotland to London, and allying with General George Wade during his march through the Highlands.
