**********
(The following is from the "Clan Munro Magazine" - NO. 26, 2012 - "Sir Charles Munro - The Ninth Baronet" - by Hector Munro of Foulis)

«i»George, as a minor, had been cheated out of his rightful inheritance, the 15,000 acre Culrain estate, by Sir Hector Munro of Novar who, after actingas a trustee, obtained permission from his fellow trustees to resign and then proceeded to purchase the estate from them, for what was considered the wholly inadequate sum of £5,000 (modern-day equivalent of £500,000), in a blatant breech of faith. Undoubtedly, the young Charles was brought up on tales of this outrage, which must have had a profound influence on the father and the son's actions later in life, when they saw the possibility of succeeding to the greater prize of Foulis Estate and the Chieftainship of the Clan.«/i»
**********

George of Culraine married the daughter of John Montgomery of Milmount House, Ross (or of Milntown).

George's father had borrowed 5000 pounds from Sir Hector Munro of Novar to pay his debts, and had given a bond on the estate of Culrain. After Charles' death, Sir Hector took possession of Culrain in gross breach of faith towards Charles and his son, George, who was at the time a minor. Thus Sir Hector acquired Culrain for the very inadequate sum of 5000 pounds.

George refused to recognize the sale to Sir Hector Munro of Novar.

George entered the army, and was a Captain in the Fraser Fencibles, raised in 1794 by Colonel James Fraser of Belladrum. George distinguished himself with his regiment in Ireland during the rebellion there.

He retired in 1798 and joined the Ross and Cromarty Rangers, raised in 1799, and placed under the command of Colonel Lewis Mackenzie.

George sold Rhicullen and Rosebank to Mr. Macleay of Newmore, and sold Culcairn in 1818 to Hugh Rose-Ross of Calrossie and Cromarty for 16,500 pounds.
