All the following is from the indexes at www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk, where you can check the originals to ensure they are the people you are looking for.

Catherine Campbell or Fraser, mmn Baxter, died 1902 aged 73.

Donald Fraser m Catherine Campbell, Dundee, 1868.

Only Fraser child with mmn Campbell born in Dundee between 1868 and 1880 is Campbell Fraser, born 1871.

1881 census, Monifieth: Donald Fraser, 51, b Elgin; Catherine F, wife, 53, b Galway; Amelia F, daughter, 31, b Dundee; Campbell Fraser, son, 9, b Dundee

I infer that Catherine was Donald's second wife, Amelia being a daughter by a previous marriage.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
