This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Rose, Mackintosh, - just east of Culloden AND also near Tomatin Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/BgC.2ACI/1287.1 Message Board Post: John, Not much to go on, however there is a Rose "Home" along the River Findhorn about midway between Nairn and Inverness cities. I also recall from about 30 years back being at the Rose Family Castle - I don't recall the name of it unfortunately - about 1 to 2 hours (max) south of Inverness along Hwy A9 - it may likely have been near Tomatin because my family were Tailors by Trade at one point on the Rose Estate, and those tailors were trained (apprenticed) by their Uncle Donald Mackintosh at or near the Town of Tomatin. Somewhere around 1800 (??) I believe that a Mackintosh married a Rose daughter (wow! some step up for him) and you may be able to pick up the lineage somewhere in that era. Hope this helps a bit.
