The Fraser Baronetcy, of Ledeclune in the County of Inverness, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 27 November 1806 for William Fraser. The third Baronet served with the 7th Hussars in Spain during the Peninsular War, and was on the staff of the Duke of Wellington during the Waterloo Campaign. The fourth Baronet was an author and collector and also represented Barnstaple, Ludlow and Kidderminster in the House of Commons. The fifth Baronet sat as Member of Parliament for Harborough.
The title became extinct on the death of the sixth Baronet in 1979.[1]
