James Fraser

James Fraser of Brea (1638-98) was a Covenanter and later the minister in Culross, Fife. He was born on his father’s Ross-shire estate at Brea, which he inherited as a child; this was to cause him much legal and financial difficulty. He studied at Marischal College Aberdeen (MA, 1658), and after practising law for some years began to preach and was ordained around 1670 by some ejected ministers.
