Biography

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_Rose%2C_15th_of_Kilravock

Hugh Rose, 15th Baron of Kilravock and Chief of Clan Rose, (1663–1732) was one of the Scottish representatives to the first Parliament of Great Britain as MP for Nairnshire.[1][2]

Hugh Rose, 15th of Kilravock was born in January 1663 at Innes, Morayshire, Scotland, and died 23 January 1732. He was the son of Hugh Rose, 14th of Kilravock and Margaret Innes.

Rose died of a fever of cold at Kilravock, on 23 January 1732, and was buried with his forebears in the chapel of Geddes. An 18th-century panegyric conceals the quick temper and shiftiness of its subject in a portrait which would have done more credit to his mother's devout Presbyterianism than to the family's recurring talent for compromise:[1]

The laird of Kilravock was of . . . a daring and bold spirit in time of danger, but otherwise mild, affable and condescending. His judgment was clear and solid, and his conduct uniform and equal . . . and, which was the great ornament of his life, he was a gentleman of shining piety and virtue, sincere and constant in his devotion to God, faithful and just in his dealings with men, peaceable and benevolent towards his neighbours, a pattern of virtue in his family . . . he despised the growing luxury and vanity of the age, and he rather affected a primitive simplicity than studied the politeness and effeminacy of the times.
