== Research Notes ==:It is often stated that Hugh Fraser married Isobell Wemyss. This is an error which seems to be the result of a confusion with his son, also called Hugh. See The Scots Peerage.[[#BalfourPaul|BalfourPaul]]: [https://archive.org/details/scotspeeragefoun05paul/page/520 Vol 5, Page 520][[#BalfourPaul|Balfour Paul]]: [https://archive.org/details/scotspeeragefoun05paul/page/522 Vol 5, Page 522]
:Many sources number him as "4th of Lovat", but The Scots Peerage states that "... there are no authentic documents known in which any Fraser is styled of Lovat before the time of Hugh Fraser ..."[[#BalfourPaul|BalfourPaul]]: [https://archive.org/details/scotspeeragefoun05paul/page/518 Vol 5, Page 519]
