Sir Alexander Fraser of Fraserburgh (1537-1623): A Scottish Landowner and Founder of a Prosperous Town This evocative photograph print captures the portrait of Sir Alexander Fraser, a prominent Scottish landowner and the founder of Fraserburgh, a historic town located in Aberdeenshire on the northeast coast of Scotland. Born in 1537, Sir Alexander Fraser was a man of great vision and ambition, who left an indelible mark on the Scottish landscape. Sir Alexander Fraser was the 7th Laird of Fraser, a noble family with a rich history that can be traced back to the 13th century. In the late 16th century, he embarked on an ambitious project to transform a small fishing village into a thriving town. He obtained a royal charter from King James VI in 1593, granting him the right to establish a burgh and build a harbor at Fraserburgh. The photograph reveals Sir Alexander Fraser in his prime, dressed in the finery of a Scottish laird. His stern expression and piercing gaze convey a sense of determination and leadership. The intricate details of his clothing, from the plaid pattern of his kilt to the ornate decorations on his doublet, attest to his noble status. The backdrop of the photograph is a rugged Scottish landscape, with craggy cliffs and the vast expanse of the North Sea in the distance. This setting underscores the challenges Sir Alexander Fraser faced in his endeavor to establish Fraserburgh, a town that would thrive despite the harsh conditions of the Scottish coast. Sir Alexander Fraser's legacy endures to this day. Fraserburgh is now a bustling town with a rich maritime heritage, renowned for its fishing industry and picturesque harbor. The town's name is a testament to its founder, who saw the potential in a small fishing village and transformed it into a prosperous Scottish burgh.
