[Fraser, Simon / Lord Lovat] McLaren, Moray. Lord Lovat of the '45. The End of an Old Song. London, Jarrolds, 1957. Octavo. 229 pages. Original Hardcover with illustrated dustjacket in protective Mylar. Very good condition with only minor signs of external wear. Simon Fraser, 11th Lord Lovat (c.1667 – 9 April 1747, London), was a Scottish Jacobite and Chief of Clan Fraser of Lovat, known for his feuding and changes of allegiance. In 1715, he had been a supporter of the House of Hanover, but in 1745 he changed sides and supported the Stuart claim on the crown of the United Kingdom. Lovat was among the Highlanders defeated at the Battle of Culloden and convicted of treason against the Crown. He was the last man in Britain to be executed by beheading, although beheading was not formally abolished in UK law until 1973.
