thank you everyone for your replys. Donald was my grand father. Think my best bet is to get her birth certificate. She is turning into a bit of a mystery. :-)

No matches for that name and date of birth come up on ScotlandsPeople.

Is Fraser her maiden name or married name?

You really need a copy of her birth certificate for information regarding her parents.
