According to Edward Pinnington's biography of Fraser, he was brought upward at Dunoon on the coast of Argyll, and in an unfinished autobiography, he described his early on passion for art:
- "At an early age I evinced a gustation for art, covering every chip of paper I laid easily on (as indeed almost children do) with drawings of horses and boats. When lost — a matter of frequent occurrence — I was normally establish at a pit on the seashore, busily modelling in dirt, often with a beat lying earlier me to copy from. Thus early on had a gustatory modality to piece of work from nature shewn itself."[four]
His male parent's paints, oils, palettes and brushes were "the tools of childhood" and not surprisingly he resolved that "I will be a painter, and nothing else."[4] Well-nigh 1847, he went to Edinburgh and enrolled at the Trustees' Academy (which later became Edinburgh College of Art) nether Thomas Duncan. From 1849-53 he attended the life school of the Royal Scottish University.[2] His start committee dates from nigh 1850.'[4] In 1858 he was elected an acquaintance of the Imperial Scottish Academy and became an academician in 1862.
