Alexander was asked by a deputation of Highlanders to become the next Chief of Clan Fraser (remember this can be an elected NOT hereditary position) but in spite of majority support he turned this down saying that the clan would be better served by the Chieftainship going to the one with Title and Money, Thomas of Strichen. A disappointed Highlander slapped the new Chief on the shoulder saying "Tam, Tam, they've got the wrong man!"
