• Foulis Castle

Foulis Castle is located just out of Evanton located in the North of Scotland and is the ancestral residence of Clan Munro. Clan Munro have held Foulis Castle since at least the 12th Century but it is believed that they may have been in possession even earlier, as this is as old as records can go to Foulis Castle. The first structure constructed in the area dates in the early 11th Century and during this time it was referred to as the Tower of Foulis. The castle was a strong place until it was destroyed by the Jacobite Rising of 1745, after which it was destroyed, attacked and sacked by jacobites. the Chief of Clan Munro in 1745 rebuilt the castle after the incident, but it was constructed with the style of a Georgian style mansion instead of a defensive fort. The version that was built in Foulis Castle still stands today and is where the Chief of Clan Munro lives.

What clan is Munro belongs to?

Clan Munro an Rothaich is a Highland Scottish clan. The clan's origins were within Easter Ross in the Scottish Highlands. The traditional roots of the clan claim that its founder was Donald Munro who came from the north of Ireland and moved to Scotland around the 11th century, but its actual founder may be much older. There is also a long tradition that Munro chiefs backed Robert the Bruce during the Wars of Scottish Independence. The first clan chief to be confirmed can be traced to Robert de Munro who died in 1369. His father is mentioned, but not mentioned in numerous charters. The clan chiefs initially held their land mostly in Findon in the Black Isle but exchanged it in 1350 in exchange for Estirfowlys. The son of Robert Hugh who died in 1425 was the first member of the family to be called "of Foulis", despite the fact that genealogies of the clan describe the baron as being 9th.

In the 15th and 16th century, the Munros were at war with their neighbors, the Clan Mackenzie and the Clan Mackenzie. During the 17th century, many Munros participated during the Thirty Years' War to defend Protestantism. In the Scottish Civil War of the seventeenth century, various Clan members sided with those who were Royalists or Covenanters at various periods. The Munro chiefs backed their clan in the Glorious Revolution of 1688 and during the Jacobite rebellions of the eighteenth century, the clan as well as the chiefs were strongly anti-Jacobite, in support of the Hanoverian British Government.

Which is the Munro clan's slogan?

• Dread God

They had a war with a variety of their clans that were neighbors and clans, but it was the MacKenzies. A separate Highland Company of Munros was one of the six who made the Am Freiceadan Dubh, also known as "Black Watch". It was later renamed"the 43rd" Highland regiment in 1740. Its Munro clan's motto reads "Dread God" and the clan's crest is an Eagle.
