This is the Hunting Fraser (Modern Colours) and the
nearest the Highland Clan Fraser has to a regimental tartan. Originally adopted
by officers of the Lovat Scouts (Raised 1900 by Simon Joseph Fraser 16th Lord
Lovat ) for their dress trews (strapped) and worn as a kilt and strapped plaid
by pipers of the Lovat Scouts. I am informed that it has now been adopted in the
kilted form as full dress uniform for the present Lovat Scouts
(TA).
This next Tartan is the Fraser Dress Tartan and it needs no comment from me as to the reason. Sufficient to say that it makes very nice dresses and skirts for the ladies and is sometimes mistaken for Royal Stewart. I do not recall ever seeing a Adult Fraser Male wearing it although it could be a useful means of initiating conflict, should an excuse be needed.
