•History

Frasers Hill, mountain resort in the Main Range, Peninsular Malaysia. It lies 40 miles (65 km) north of Kuala Lumpur, at an elevation of 4,280 feet (1,305 metres). The site was named for Louis James Fraser, a Scottish trader and mule-train operator who disappeared in the area in 1916. The hill station, built on seven hills, was surveyed in 1919 and later developed by the Federated Malay States. The resort is reached via Kuala Kubu Baharu and the twisting “Gap” road.
