| Notes |
- John Munro of Culcairn (sometime of Bombay) married the daughter of Thomas Ross of Calrossie.

"Christane married Captaine George Munro of Culcarn son to Fowlis by whom he had Mr John Andrew George and Duncan."
"Mr John Munro younger of Culcarn."
"John of Culcairn, sometime of Bombay, d 24 Aug 1766 (FW 375, Love's Vestiges of Old Madras ii 549, Scots Mag 1766 p 437); wife Katharine dr of Thomas Ross of Calrossie d 11 Jun 1757 (Scots Mag 326)."
John appears to have led a quiet country life at home. In 1751, he established a bleachfield on the spot where later the Culcairn mills stood. It was then the only one in the county of Ross. For several years it succeeded pretty well, but after John's death it passed through the hands of different managers, and was not so successful.
John married Katharine, the daughter of Thomas Ross of Calrossie.
