Rossdhu : the home of the chiefs of Clan Colquhoun

Pearson, James W.UUUU
Books, Manuscripts
Situated near Luss, the story of Rossdhu reaches back through the centuries to the family of Maldouen first of Luss. The name Rossdhu is derived from the word 'Ross' which signifies a point or promontory which projects out into the loch, and 'dhu' which mean black - so we have 'black promontory'. What is now Rossdhu are the remains of the old fortalice, and a newer Georgian mansion that has subsequently been subject to additions. There is also the Chapel of St Mary, where the chiefs of Colquhoun are buried.
