What a moving and beautiful thing it is to see this, for Roses like myself who can't visit in person. Seeing this brings me closer to distant ancestors and the mystery of my origins.
I too am a Direct Descendant of Rose Clan. Very Proud, hello to all of my descendant families of the Rose Clan. It is nice to see so many. God bless you all.
I'm a Rose as well although DNA has concluded that my ancestors are part of the clan but not directly related to the barons of Kilravock. No matter. The spousal unit and I spent 5 days there last summer while I researched a book I'm working on about Kilravock and the Jacobite Uprising. I then found out about Arthur Rose, and voila!, another book in the making. It is truly an inspirational place. I just adore it.
Descendant of the Rose clan on my mothers side. Visited at behest of my grandmother in 2006, while at uni in Canterbury. A truly magical place. The only evidence of my journey there are a few stones from the river and a piece of the monkey puzzle. Hope to return someday
Thank you for sharing. My grandmother whose maiden name was Rose told me often growing up how her ancestors came from Scotland and landed in NC then migrated westward. Unfortunately, I was not able to visit Kilravock while my grandmother was alive; she would have loved to have seen it. One striking feature of the Roses of my grandmother's family was many of them were tall and strong. My great uncles (all 4 of them) were at least 6ft or taller. Not sure if it is a trait; however, they were all good quality and honest. My grandmother was known to never tell a lie; not sure if that is another trait in the Roses. I do miss her a lot.
I'm from the U.S. too. Kilravock has been within our family stories for most of my life. I was fortunate enough to visit Kilravock in 2004 with my mother who was a friend of Elizabeth Rose, Baroness of Kilravock. Then we went again in 2010 (when these pictures were taken) to do research on a book about Arthur Rose I am currently writing. If you can ever manage to get there, do it. I truly felt as if I had come home.
My great great great great grand father Donald Rose, his 2 sons and wife came to Nova Scotia in 1780 something was granted 2000 acres of land. We lived on that land for over 200 years. We have the docs and line info going back quite a bit. If I every had the chance I would buy the castle.
I didn't know it. Thanks for the information. I'll have to look them up. We go to the Highland Games in Estes Park, Colorado when I can get away from teaching. I absolutely love the tattoos on Main Street during the presentation of the Clans.
Still tracing our Rose roots but suspect we eventually will confirm a distant relation. Thank you for posting this video and all our best to all the Roses out there. Steven Rose Canada
+PtahXHi Steven noticed you're a Rose from Canada; not sure if you're from Nova Scotia area. However, some of the Roses in my family who lived in NC, TN, and KY married into the Le'Geres who migrated from the Nova Scotia area to the US in the late 1800s. Just thought I would ask if your family also married into the same set of Le'Geres
I'll take a look at the tree in the next while and see if we are long lost relatives. We came through Nova Scotia from the States at one point but their is a larger line of Roses that are predominant in the east of Canada. So far it doesn't look like we are of the same line as they are but who knows as we go further back 😄 Either way it's always good to hear from another leg of the Rose family -
My cousin has been doing research on the Rose side of the family and she just found out that we are Scottish and part of the Rose Clan. Her research goes all the way back to 800's. I would love a copy of your book about Arthur Rose,
John Rose was my grandfather descendant of Rose Clan; hello to all others who are descendants of Rose clan. Constant and True is our crest. Mary, Queen of Scots, was received at the castle in 1562, and Prince Charles Edward Stuart was entertained four days before the battle of Culloden. His enemy, the Duke of Cumberland, visited soon after the battle, and Robert Burns came here in September 1787. It is a Category A listed building and is no longer occupied by the Rose Clan. The Castle is no longer part of the Rose Clan estate; in 1984 the Castle was transferred to a charitable Christian Trust. It was operated as bed and breakfast accommodation for a while but is no longer open to the public.
I just found out that Grandpa Cecil Rose's father was Alexander Rose, also known as Sandy. And his father was Sandy Rose as well, but we are unsure if this is also a nick name or real name. They were from Ayr Ontario.
I am a descendant of the "Rose family". My late great grand mother was Ada Porter & she married James Dalrymple. I have been to the family castle about 10 years ago now, & I had just missed Elizabeth. However she was not well at that time. I would love to hear from anyone else. I understand that the Rose family are stretched right across the globe
Wow, really ? Unfortunately, my family has no proof that we are actually Roses, because my great grandfather changed his last name, but we do not know if he changed it legally either.
I can't wait to see it! To know this is where my family is from is very cool. I also found out that my cousin Dr. Robert Rose was married to President James Madison's sister, Francis Madison. Another cousin fought at the Alamo.
Somewhere in my family tree we have a Daniel Rose. I need to get the kin-keep box from my niece and look further into it. I know some of my ancestors, and those I'm related to now, came through that area.
Hello - on the spur of the moment I thought I would just have a brief look at Kilravock. I too am connected with the Roses of Kilravock but also Edinburgh and I see there are two comments asking about Arthur Rose - he was my grandfather.Mary Rose Somerville
+Josie Curran The Arthur Rose I'm researching died in 1714. He was spying on the Jacobite army garrisoned in Inverness with a "trusted" friend. Who just happened to let the Jacobites in on his presence. He was shot and killed just shy of one year after his ransom from an Algerian pirate who held him captive for 12 years. Truth is stranger than fiction. Fiction of which I'm writing about Arthur.
My cousins visited the castle several years ago. We are related to the Rose Clan. Our ancestor arrived to the colonies just prior to the Revolutionary War. It is wonderful the castle still stands as a monument to God and Family.
Hello I'm Noah Rose my grandfather told me about this castle and that I'm from Scotland. My grandfather stayed in the castle which was cool. I'm from the USA
You were able to visit inside the castle? The last time I talked to the Kilravock Trust, they said they were closing off the castle to tours and the B and B that was there. I hope it's open again. I was really sad that they closed it. This is what replaced their website which had all kinds of good information on it. :-( kilravock.com/
Loved this video! I lived on the estate for a good part of my child hood, maybe 7 years and my memories are all good,it was such an amazing place to be a child and grow up! Both my parents worked on the estate. Is it true that the estate is no longer open to the public?? I've always wanted to go back, the gardens were amazing!!!
Mary Unger I heard that the Rose that was running/ maintaining the castle and grounds died. And left everything to a trust to maintain the property. It is currently for sale. 😔.
Sadly, I just heard that Kilravock is no longer open to visitors. I wrote to the head of the Christian Trust for some historical fact checking. Her husband wrote back and told me they were no longer at Kilravock. His wife had retired and the estate closed to visitors. How sad. Evidently, the costs incurred were so great they could not keep the B and B open. I am hoping they are taking whatever savings they have from not having to pay insurance and the nonsense of taxes to improve and preserve the estate. I am forever grateful I was able to visit twice and have memories which will last me a lifetime. I do feel like a part of me has been disconnected though. *sigh*
Since the castle is closed. What ever happened to all of the information that was in the Rose Castle concerning the Rose Clan? There were portraits and genealogy information in the castle. Can a person see these items in a different location?
I walked this earth 35 years never knowing My father's face. Then we found each other. My father is Michael my brother is Michael and I am Michael. I don't directly descend, but now my last name has some real meaning. I share blood with Mohawks, slaves, and a great bloodline from kilvarock.
My last name is Rose, though I highly doubt a direct descendant. Still I’d like to build a model of the clan’s castle as it was in its heyday. Is there someone I could contact for a set of basic plans?
I wish I knew. I've tried contacting the Trust that is in possession of the castle, but no one has answered my emails. I was shocked to see the website taken apart and saddened as well. I have no idea what's going on there. It makes me curious though. I had always hoped to go again and walk the grounds and climb the tower to see the gooseberry bush at the base of the flag pole. Maybe someday.
Hello, My name is Christine Rose. I married into the Rose family. My husbands family belongs to the Kilravock Castle Rose Clan. I am looking for any history I can on the Castle and his ancestors for Christmas if at all possible. We are from a small town called Basswood in Manitoba, Canada. His fathers name is Malcolm Rose, his grandfather was Cecil Rose and that's all I know. I would love to find out how to get any info on his family and/or Castle if at all posible.

As a descendant of the Rose Clan, am hoping to visit ASAP. I almost feel as if I don't have a choice! Thx for this video.
Would love to visit from Canada sometime
I'm glad you like the video. I felt very connected with my Rose background when I was there.

I don´t know if you know it, but there´s a pipeband in Denmark and We are wearing the Clan colours (Clan Rose Pipes and Drums of Denmark)

I was told my whole childhood, that my great grandfather , on my father's side, was from the Rose Clan as well.

I too am from the Rose family of Kilrock. It's nice to see your video. Thank you for sharing.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. It is a spectacular place to visit. It's not fancy princess castle, but it just feels just so Scottish.

Me mother was a Rose...in fact her name and my uncles name are both mentioned on the website....will someday visit.
I spent my honeymoon at this castle. The guests of Baroness Elizabeth Rose.

Yes I heard she passed away. I looked on a clan chief website and it said, Alexander Rose YGR of Earlsmiln is Clan Chief.
The flowers and trees were beautiful,but not much castle
