When still a young man, after some successful inquiries for other people, he turned his attention to the history of his own family. He failed, however, to trace it very far. In the year 1740 a certain John Fraser, said to be ‘of the Frasers of Lovat ’ and to have come from Kirkmichael in the heights of Banffshire, had a small farm in the parish of Aberlour. His wife was Jean Carmichael, and they had a son William, born in 1746, and two daughters Anne and Clementina, a name in those days suggesting loyalty to the exiled Royal House. About 1770 William Fraser the son found his way to Aberdeen and thence into the Mearns, where he was employed in building a new steading at Cowie, near Stonehaven. On the completion of the work he settled down there as a mason and married Christian Young, daughter of James Young, tenant of the Mill of Cowie, by whom he had a large family, including William who carried on business as a mason and builder in Stone- haven ; James, the father of Sir William; and Jean, married to John Dickson, tenant of Alpity, a farm on Arbuthnott. In 1845 this John Dickson, then a man of eighty-seven, told Sir William that though his grandfather said he came from the Awin Water side, he was not in the way of talking about his connections in the North Country—that he had ‘ a kilt in which he dressed occasionally with long flowing hair on his back,’ and that his wife, when they returned from their marriage jaunt, reported that she had met some viii SIR WILLIAM FRASER’S PAPERS relative, a Fraser of good position. All the elements of a romance seemed ready to hand. But there the curtain fell, and nothing more could be ascertained—not even from a son of Clementina Fraser, William Garden by name, who died in 1885 at the age of ninety-nine. James Fraser, like his father and elder brother William, became a mason. In 1815 he married Ann Walker, daughter of James Walker, tenant of the farm of Elf hill of Fetteresso, and Jean Aitershanks his wife, and took up house at Links of Arduthie, near Stonehaven. They had three children : William, born 18th February 1816 ; John, born 31st July 1818 ; and Ann, born 29th August 1820. Sir William was educated at a private school in Stonehaven kept by the Rev. Charles Michie. On 23rd August 1830 he entered on a five-years’ apprenticeship with Messrs. Brand and Burnett, Solicitors, Stonehaven. During these years he made many friends among the other lads of his own age, with whom, after he left Stonehaven, he kept up a correspondence dignified and precocious on both sides. He also seems to have been caught by the prevailing excitement about the Reform Bill of 1832, for one of his most cherished possessions was a banner with an appro- priate inscription, apparently home-made, which he had carried in a procession to celebrate the passing of that measure and welcome the new heaven and new earth which, it was understood, this alteration of electoral machinery would soon produce. In 1834 James Fraser died at the age of forty-seven. His wife had died in 1821, and their child John a few months after that. So the brother and sister were left orphans at the ages of eighteen and thirteen respectively. That the boy had commended himself to his employers, and that the family circumstances were somewhat narrow, is evidenced by the terms of a letter of sympathy from Mr. Brand with a gift of £5, and by the lad’s reply. Even in INTRODUCTION ix those early days it is plain that Sir William carefully prepared his letters and preserved the drafts. On the completion of his apprenticeship he went to Edinburgh in December 1835, and had the good fortune to obtain employment with Messrs. Hill and Tod, W.S., with whom he stayed some four years. While in this situation he attended the University of Edinburgh, and in particular the classes of Scots Law and Conveyancing, of which George Joseph Bell and MacVey Napier were then the professors. In January 1840 he entered the office of Mr. Warren Hastings Sands, W.S., with whom he remained till nearly the end of 1848. Mr. Sands was a man of some importance, being Solicitor of Teinds. Fraser’s position in his office must have been rather an unusual one. Not merely did he carry on business on his own account, chiefly though not solely in connection with peerage claims and cases where historical and antiquarian knowledge was of importance, but in 1842 he became clerk to Mr. Charles Baillie, afterwards Lord Jerviswoode, and in 1847 to Mr. Cosmo Innes, then Sheriff of Elgin and Nairn. From Mr. Sands he passed to Mr. John Gibson, a prominent Writer to the Signet who had acted for Sir Walter Scott in his troubles, and was a clerk with him till 1st January 1851, when along with Mr. Gibson’s son he became a partner of the firm of Gibsons and Fraser, W.S. In February of that year he was admitted a member of the Society of Solicitors before the Supreme Court. During all this time he maintained a regular correspond- ence with his uncle and with a number of his early friends. From such letters as have been preserved it is plain that away in Edinburgh, and steadily climbing the professional ladder, Sir William maintained a keen and kindly interest not merely in his own kith and kin, but in his native place and its people generally, and was always ready to help every SIR WILLIAM FRASER’S PAPERS deserving object—and some undeserving ones—that were commended to his notice. It was the time of the great Disruption controversy, and many of the letters have references to that unfortunate dispute. Fraser had a great admiration for the Rev. Dr. Thomas Guthrie and was much under his influence, but while that influence made him a strong and even bitter non-intrusionist, it was not strong enough to make him leave the Church of his fathers in 1843. To this result his uncle would seem to have contributed not a little. The hard-headed old gentleman, for many years an elder and Session Treasurer of the parish of Fetteresso, did not regard the constitution of the Church as perfect; but he did not think that a Dis- ruption was the best way to put things right, and he made this very clear to his nephew, who till the end of his long life remained a member of St. Cuthbert’s Church. In those days the remuneration of a law clerk depended a good deal on the amount of writing which he did, and Fraser’s remarkably fine script was thus of material use in increasing his income. He also for a considerable time kept the business books of his employers, and so developed those orderly and methodical habits that characterised him in such a marked degree. It was his good fortune also to be concerned in various cases requiring antiquarian and, in particular, genealogical research, and he was thus early introduced to those studies in which he became such an expert, and steadily built up that remarkable body of knowledge which made possible his great series of family histories.

  • History of the Chair of Clinical Surgery
    History of the Chair of Clinical Surgery Eleven people have held the Chair of Clinical Surgery since its establishment in 1802. They are, in chronological order: • Professor James Russell • Professor James Syme • Lord Joseph Lister • Professor Thomas Annandale • Professor Francis Mitchell Caird • Sir Harold Stiles • Sir John Fraser • Sir James Learmonth • Sir John Bruce • Sir Patrick Forrest • Sir David Carter Introduction At the end of the 18th century surgeons had been advocating that the teaching of surgery in the University of Edinburgh was of sufficient importance to justify a chair in its own right. Resistance to this development was largely directed by Munro Secundus, who regarded this potentially as an infringement on his right to teach anatomy and surgery. James Russell petitioned the town council to establish a Chair of Clinical Surgery and, in 1802, he was appointed as the first Professor of Clinical Surgery. The chair was funded by a Crown endowment of £50 a year from George III in 1803. James Russell 1754-1836 James Russell followed his father of the same name into the surgical profession. His father had served as deacon of the Incorporation of Surgeons (Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh) in 1752.The younger James Russell was admitted into the Incorporation in 1774, the year before it became the Royal College of Surgeons of the City of Edinburgh. Prior to his appointment to the Regius Chair of Clinical Surgery, Russell was seen as a popular teacher attracting large classes in the extramural school. Though he was required by the regulations of the time to retire from practice at the Royal Infirmary at the age of 50, he continued to lecture and undertake tutorials in clinical surgery over the next 20 years.

    Former Fellows of The Royal Society of Edinburgh 1783 – 2002 Biographical Index Part Two ISBN 0 902198 84 X Published July 2006 © The Royal Society of Edinburgh 22-26 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2PQ BIOGRAPHICAL INDEX OF FORMER FELLOWS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH 1783 – 2002 PART II K-Z C D Waterston and A Macmillan Shearer This is a print-out of the biographical index of over 4000 former Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh as held on the Society’s computer system in October 2005. It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.

From his student days he had been an avid book collector. He formed relationships with antiquarian booksellers throughout the north of England. His interests were eclectic but focused on English literature of the 17th and 18th centuries. Several of my father’s books have survived in the present collection. During childhood I paid little attention to his books but in later years I too became a collector. During the war I was evacuated to the Lake District and my school in Keswick incorporated Greta Hall, where Coleridge lived with Robert Southey and his family. So from an early age the Lake Poets were a significant part of my life and a focus of my book collecting.

  • IX.—The Glacial Geology of the Stonehaven District. by THIS Paper
    Downloaded from http://trned.lyellcollection.org/ at University of California-San Diego on June 8, 2015 THE GLACIAL GEOLOGY OF STONEHAVEN DISTRICT. 25 IX.—The Glacial Geology of the Stonehaven District. By ALEX. BREMNER, M.A., D.Sc, F.R.S.E. (Read 17th January, 1917.) THIS paper is a contribution towards the solution of one of the problems in the glacial geology of north-east Scotland, mentioned in a paper published in our Transactions (vol. x. p. 334), viz., the relations in space and time of the ice that distributed the red clays from Strathmore along the coasts of Kincardineshire and Aberdeenshire with that which brought the Upper Grey Boulder Clay. The latter we shall speak of in this paper as the Dee Valley Ice : the former we may call as before the Strath­ more Ice. In addition the paper may be interesting per se as a contribu­ tion to the study of the surface geology of a district to the solid geology of part of which special attention has been called in recent years. The area dealt with is bounded by the sea and a line drawn due west from Portlethen village to the Dee watershed, following the Dee watershed to the gap between Monluth and South Dennetys and passing thence southward to the Bervie Water at Milton of Dillivaird, along the Bervie to Drumlithie, and from that point straight back to the coast at Dunnottar Castle. The localities mentioned will be found on Sheets 66 and 67 of the 1-inch map. A. DIRECTION OF ICE MOVEMENT.
