My late husbands aunt worked for Miss Rose and stayed in one of the cottages on the castle grounds.
When her house was cleared after she died, we found an old album with sepia photographs and I think it may belong to the Rose family.
If anyone can provide photos I can compare them and gladly hand over the album to it's rightful owner
Hi Tazzy. I have some 19th and 20th century photos of various members of the Rose family (Elizabeth was my granny's first cousin but much younger than my grandmother) although I'm not quite sure how we'd compare them. The only person I remember who lived in a house in the grounds was Mary, who was the housekeeper and she had a cottage by the granary. She retired in the late 70s/early 80s. She was wonderful. Then there were two elderly ladies who actually lived with Elizabeth in the house she had built, but I presume you don't mean them as they didn't work for her. I didn't stay at Kilravock much after 1980 so didn't get to know many of the staff. If they are Rose family photos, they belong with David. I hope to hear from you in due course.
