 The estate of Culrain later passed through several descendants until it was lost to Hector Munro, 8th laird of Novar.However, the landless representative of the Munro of Culrain family succeeded to the estate of Munro of Foulis in 1849, and also to the Baronetcy of Foulis-Obsdale when Charles Munro, 7th of Culrain became the 9th Baronet of Foulis-Obsdale upon the death of Sir Hugh Munro, 8th Baronet in May 1848, and his daughter who died eight months later.According to the 19th-century historian Alexander Mackenzie the Munro of Culrain family was able to succeed to the Baronetcy of Foulis-Obsdale and chiefship of the Clan Munro as there was no male representative of the Munro of Culcairn family, who were senior in line to succeed but who were apparently extinct in the male line.
