All grandparents were from the Inverness area. Last name is Rose, I have a dress and hunting tartan and I visited the castle/house which then was a B and B. Castle Kilravock. Here is the link. Kilravock Castle : A Unique B&B Experience

My family name, [dare I post it here] is Rose. The name of the 1st son of the 1st son in the family for 500 years, was traditionally Hugh Rose, my side of the family didn't follow that tradition, but whatever. As I understand it, my Great Grandfather was 3rd or fourth down the line of succession, so he got nothing, and moved to the Colonies. I remember eating dinner in the Great Hall and looking at a bunch of oil paintings going back 500 years of dead Hugh Rose's. Weird. So as i understand it, I'm 4 or 5 times removed from being a Count or Viscount or something. Whatever, it gets me nothing.
