Factor and Chamberlain to Earl of Caithness
« on: Tuesday 03 January 12 14:55 GMT (UK) »
Hi Rootschatters,

I would like some help please with the descendants of Alexander Rose b. c1620 in Nairn and died 1661 in Caithness.

He is the grandson of William Rose 11th of Kilravock, and the 5th son of John Rose of Broadley.
Alexander Rose, was factor and chamberlain to the Earl of Caithness. It is not clear whether it is George Sinclair, the 5th Earl (1566–1643) or George Sinclair, the 6th Earl (resigned 1672).
SCOTLAND:
Rose of Kilravock,
Roses in Peebles-shire,
Roses in Aberdeenshire

As a long shot, you might write to the current (20th) Earl at the House of Lords?

I am so stupid, I could force (not) myself to go to the Earl of Caithness's museum and have a look to see what I can find out.   I will speak to him on Saturday and find out when it is open if it is of use that is

Sinclair Girnigoe castle.  It is really about the Templars but I am sure there is other stuff there as well.  Get in touch with Malcolm Caithness as I don't think it is open to the public.
Hope this helps

Sinclair Girnigoe castle is open to the public but it is the remains of the castle, although worth a visit. No Templars they are in Roslyn chapel outside Edinburgh.

For the descendants of Alexander Rose you might try Rosie or Ross.

The castle is indeed a ruin and being worked on at various times  by archeologists.  There is a small museum of sorts where there is most definately information about the Sinclair/Templar connection this is not at the castle but in the private quarters up the hill from the castle (sorry about the vague directions).  Contact Malcolm Caithness he is the one with the knowledge of this.
