Hugh Fraser, 5th Lord Lovat

He was the son of Alexander Fraser, 4th Lord Lovat (d. 1557) and Janet Campell, a daughter of John Campbell of Cawdor.

[1] After his father died in 1557 his estates were managed for a time by his uncle, William Fraser of Struy, Tutor of Lovat, and he was educated by monks at Beauly Priory.

In May 1562 the Tutor of Lovat and young Lord Hugh came to Inverness to meet Mary, Queen of Scots with 400 followers.

[3] According to the 17th-century family historian, James Fraser, Lovat enjoyed archery, football, horse racing, and tilting, meeting other landowners including John Grant at the Chapel yard in Inverness for these sports.

[5] In February 1576, Donald McAngus of Glengarry complained to the Privy Council that Lovat had prevented him and his followers transporting timber by water on Loch Ness towards Inverness, and Lovat was ordered not to interfere.
