Archibald Thomas Frederick Fraser was the illegitimate son of John Fraser, one of five sons of Archibald Campbell Fraser, half-brother of General Fraser, elder son of Simon Fraser, Lord Lovat. Archibald lived to be a very old man. His five sons died before him without a legitimate heir. It was, therefore, the illegitimate grandson Archibald Thomas Frederick Fraser, known as Fraser of Abertarff, who inherited. Abertarff himself died in 1884 without a male heir and the land passed to Fraser of Strichen who was next in line and who already had the right to the title of Lord Lovat. The title was officially restored to him by an Act of Parliament in 1857.
