Miss Rosa Williamson Ross, Pitcalnie

Miss Rosa succeeded as Chief of Clan Ross on the death of her elder sister in 1957. She was born at Balnagore, Fearn. Her grandmother was heiress to the line of both Pitcalnie and Ross. Miss Rosa who subsequently took the name of Ross along with her family name of Williamson, died at her home, Ord House in Tain, at the age of 99 years on 24th March, 1968.

She retained all the old family documents, most of which are now in Edinburgh, and was the last of the Pitcalnie Rosses. On her death, the Chiefship and armorial dignities passed to the house of Shandwick.
