  <dc:title>Frasers of Castle Fraser Papers</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Papers of the Lords Fraser 1632 to 1686.

The majority of the papers are discharges (items DD1460/A/1-63 and three additional items at DD1460/A/71-73). 

There are also three lists of damage done to the Fraser family's lands by the Marquis of Huntly's forces during the 1650s (DD1460/A/64-66) and a memorandum of damage by a Captain Clare in the same time period (DD1460/A/75); a royal guarantee for the release of Lord Fraser in 1651 (DD1460/A/67); DD1460/A/68; a receipt for the payment of a fine for failing to keep the peace by the 3rd Lord Fraser in 1653 (DD1460/A/69); a rental for Durris (DD1460/A/70); and a receipt for shoe repairs (DD1460/A/74).

The papers were found with the discharges (DD1460/A/1-63) arranged into sets by date, labelled with the numbers 1-63, with the final set (64 -75) made up of other documents. This order has been retained, although its origin is unclear. 

The spelling in the original documents has been retained in the descriptions in this catalogue.</dc:description>
