Born to Colonel Charles MacKenzie Fraser and Jane Fraser (nee Hay), both families have always had Jacobite sympathies. Constructed in the 16th century on the plot of an earlier fortress, Castle Fraser was the home of the Frasers of Muchalls who became the Frasers of Inverallochy. They later changed their name to Mackenzie Fraser. On his death, in 1887 his widow remained in the property until 1921 who then sold the castle to the 1st Viscount Cowdray due to financial difficulties. When the National Trust for Scotland castle took guardianship, much of the original contents were left in situ. Lieutenant Colonel Frederick Mackenzie Fraser’s portrait by M. Jouanne still hangs in the National Trust for Scotland, Property, Castle Fraser, Garden & Estate in Aberdeenshire
