Thank you for that info, I wasn't aware of some of that Indeed, later during the Jacobite rebellion, the Munros fought on the Hannovarian side eg at Culloden, as confirmed protestants, that time was as much a civil war in the Highlands as a war just against the English and the Monarchical succession. . The famous Highland regiment, the Black Watch formed after Culloden, was made up of companies from the Munro, Fraser ("you're doomed"!) , Grant and Campbell clans, under the command first of John Lindsay but also three Munros, including Sir Robert Munro The Black Watch tartan is the Munro's "hunting tartan" nowadays many Scots use the Black Watch tartan as a generic one. I have kilts in Monro tartan and Black Watch.
