Pulrossie

[5] Angus Murray had been given the lands of Pulrossie from the Crown for his services in capturing Mackay who was then executed at Inverness.

[5] In the 16th century, Gilbert Murray the laird of Pulrossie married a daughter of John Mackay, 11th of Strathnaver, and was later killed at the Battle of Pinkie in 1547.

[7][8] In 1550 or 1551, William Murray of the family of Pulrossie murdered John Sutherland of Killipheder on the Nether Green in the west corner of the garden at Dunrobin Castle and this was in revenge for an attack on Alexander Gordon, brother of John Gordon, 11th Earl of Sutherland.

[9][10] In 1618, Sir Robert Gordon, 1st Baronet, who was tutor to the Earl of Sutherland, wrote to Murray of Pulrossie instructing him to remove the red and white lines from his men's tartan in order to make their dress similar to the other septs of the Clan Sutherland.

[12] After the Scottish Civil War of the mid-17th century, the Murray laird of Pulrossie was fined for having sided against the Royalists.

Connection of the Murray of Culbin , Pulrossie and Aberscross families. The Culbin lineage is sourced from Sinclair Ross's The Culbin Sands - Fact and Fiction . The Pulrossie and Aberscross descent is in accordance with Sir Robert Gordon's Genealogical Tables , folios 23 and 24, which also show many siblings for each generation. The Murray of Culbin coat of arms is taken from George Harvey Johnston's The Heraldry of the Murrays (1910) which in turn is sourced from Sir Robert Forman's MS of the Lyon Office dated c. 1566
