Research

"In the tyms wherein this Wiliam Rose of Kilravock lived (1540-1511), I find there was much trouble betwixt the name of Rose, of the familie of Bellivat, and those of the name of Dunbar, which, by the letters raised by the name of Dunbar, began October 8, 1598 ; upon which severalls of the name of Rose, were alleadged to come to the houses of George Dunbar and William Falconer in Clune, to have raised fire and spoiled their goods.

The ground of the quarrell was, because David Rose M' Wiliam alleadged the Cluin to be his kindlie possession, and therefor quarrelled with these, as encroachers upon him. This begot such quarrells betwext the name of Rose and Dunbar, that they were not extinct fullie, till the year 1603.

Though David Rose M'Wiliam, leader in the quarrells, was killed in or about the year 1600, being betrayed by a confident of his own, of the name of M'Grigor, hanged afterwards at Edinburgh.

In this quarrell, the Laird of Tarbat was killed ; Duniphail, Mondoll, and Sanchar, burned by one partie, and the house and lands of Geddes spoiled and burned by the other partie. These that mainlie concerned themselves in the one partie, were John Dunbar of Moynes, Alexander Dunbar of Tarbat, and Robert Dunbar of Burgie..........." (page 87) ~from Family of Rose
