Clan Rose

Constant and True

Clan Rose is a Highland family seated at Kilravock, near Croy between Inverness and Nairn. Hugh Rose of Geddes witnessed the foundation charter of Beauly Priory in about 1219, and his son acquired the lands of Kilravock by marriage, becoming the first Rose of Kilravock; he died about 1306. Historic Environment Scotland records that the Rose family acquired the lands in the 13th century and has held them since, and the old tower of Kilravock Castle was built in 1460.

Crest & Motto

Clan Rose Crest Badge & Motto

The motto of Clan Rose is Constant and True. It appears on the Clan Rose crest badge: the chief’s heraldic crest set inside a strap and buckle that carries the motto.

In Scotland a crest belongs to the chief, not to everyone with the surname. Clan members may wear the crest badge, with the crest inside the strap and buckle, to show that they belong to the clan. The plain crest without the strap remains the chief’s own.

Questions about Clan Rose

Who is the chief of Clan Rose?

The Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs does not name a chief for Rose: its members list shows Rose as 'Under consideration'.

Where is Clan Rose from?

Kilravock, near Croy between Inverness and Nairn. COSCA names Kilravock as the historic seat, and Historic Environment Scotland records that the Rose family 'acquired these lands in the 13th century and has retained them continuously'.

Did Kilravock Castle have royal visitors?

Mary, Queen of Scots stayed overnight in 1562 on her way to Inverness. In 1746 Hugh, 16th Laird, who favoured the government cause, entertained Prince Charles Edward Stuart before the Battle of Culloden, and the Duke of Cumberland visited afterwards.

What is the Rose plant badge?

Wild rosemary.

Does the clan still own Kilravock Castle?

The chief signed the Kilravock estate over to a Christian trust fund in 1984. In August 2023 COSCA reported that the castle had recently been put up for sale and that Clan Rose International had set up the Kilravock Heritage Fund to help buy it back.
