"The late Major Rose of Kilravock," Inverness Courier, April 2, 1909, p. 5d. '...His elder brother, Major John Baillie Rose, an officer in the 55th Regiment of Foot, fell at the battle of Alma, at the opening of the Crimean war, and the estate of Kilravock descended to his brother...' " [Statement in obituary of Major James Rose, 80, Kilravock. James apparently never served in Crimea. Estate held by family since Hugh Rose of Geddes married granddaughter of Sir John Byset of Lovat and obtained charter in 1293.] |
