Ms Fraser told the BBC she had been visiting the McCulloch brothers – her second cousins – every fortnight for years, at their farm near Muir of Ord on the Black Isle.
The brothers were unmarried and there were no children to take on their beloved Logie Farm, where they had lived for 30 years, raising cattle and sheep.
One day in August 2017, Ms Fraser found Hugh and Roddy in a distressed state and their farmhouse stripped bare.
The brothers told her they no longer owned it.
Ms Fraser says that Warwick, a Church of Scotland minister who had preached to King Charles, had befriended Hugh, Roddy and David years earlier.
Along with Stewart, he persuaded the brothers, who were in their late 70s and 80s, into granting them power of attorney in 2013.
The following year the farm was transferred to Warwick and Stewart.
After persuading their victims into giving away their home and land, the two men sold the farmhouse and drained their bank accounts.
Later it would transpire the men had robbed the brothers of more than £1m.
