Munro of Culcairn

The Munros of Culcairn were a minor noble Scottish family and a branch of the ancient Clan Munro, a Scottish clan of the Scottish Highlands. Their seat was at Culcairn which is on the east side of Allt Graad/River Glass in the parish of Kiltearn.
History.
George Munro, 1st of Culcairn was the second son of Sir Robert Munro, 5th Baronet (of Foulis and chief of the Clan Munro) and his wife Jean, daughter of John Forbes, 2nd of Culloden.
According to the 19th-century historian Alexander Mackenzie, when Sir Hugh Munro, 8th Baronet of Foulis died in May 1848, followed by the death of his daughter eight months later, had there been a male representative of the Munro of Culcairn family then it would have been the Munros of Culcairn who would have succeeded to the Baronetcy of Foulis and chiefship of the Clan Munro. However, according to Mackenzie the Munro of Culcairn family had terminated in a female representative and so succession to the Baronetcy devolved upon the Munro of Culrain family, with Charles Munro, 7th of Culrain succeeding as the 9th Baronet of Fouis-Obsdale.
Possible descendants.
It has been claimed that because the Munro of Culcairn family was living in London, England, it was assumed that they had died out, even though they had not. The family making this claim possess a ship's log which belonged to their ancestor Thomas Munro, whom they believe to be Thomas, second son of John Munro, 2nd of Culcairn. This claim remains unproven; 19th-century historian Alexander Mackenzie, albeit not invariably accurate, states that this Thomas Munro of Culcairn died at sea in 1778 and does not mention any issue.
