Munro of Obsdale

Their base was at Obsdale House, situated just north of the town of Alness in the Scottish Highlands.

[1] Some of the members of the Munro of Obsdale family were amongst the most distinguished Scottish military officers of the 17th century.

John Munro soon attained the rank of colonel, and in 1628 returned to Scotland to recruit his regiment.

[2] One of the most notable incidents of John Munro, 2nd of Obsdale's career during this war was a severe engagement at the pass in Oldenburg, where he distinguished himself highly and escaped unhurt, while his brother Robert was wounded in the knee.

After Sir Hector, 11th baronet died in 1935 the chieftaincy passed to his daughter and was separated from the baronetcy.
