From http://www.greatclanross.org/htext6.html :
David Ross, twelfth Baron of Balnagowan, was quite young when he inherited the estates, but he was quick to suppress crime in Ross-shire. At his own expense, David raised a regiment of 800 men of Ross for the Scottish army in order to reinstate King Charles II, but they were defeated by Cromwell at the battle of Worcester in 1651 and members of the clan were either slain or taken prisoner to be sold as slaves. The considerable expense of outfitting his regiment with weapons and the red Ross tartan trews left David's estates in greater debt than before. He died after two years of imprisonment in the Tower of London, and he was buried at Westminster on December 29, 1653. David had married Marie, the eldest daughter of Lord Fraser of Lovat, leaving as issue: (1) David, who became the last laird of Balnagowan; (2) Alexander, who died at 20; (3) Isobell, and (4) Catherine, who married John Mackenzie, fourth of Inveraul.
