Alexander Ross, sixth Chief of Clan Ross, married Dorothy, daughter of Alexander Sutherland of Duffus.   They had children (1) David, who succeeded his father as Laird; and (2) Isobell, who married George Munro, tenth Laird of Foulis.

Gordin, in the "Earldom of Sutherland," describes the disastrous battle in which Alexander was killed in 1486.   As was customary among Highlanders, raiding parties of the MacKays had for some years been invading the territories of Ross, killing and plundering as they went.   Angus MacKay, in one particular raiding excursion, invaded Strathoykell where he "burnt, spoiled, and wasted many lands appertaining to the Rosses."   Upon hearing of the invasion, Alexander Ross gathered the clansmen and surprised Angus MacKay and his forces at Alt'a Charrais.   During the lengthy battle, Alexander Ross was slain "with seventeen other landed gentlement of the Province of Ross, besides a great number of common soldiers." ;  The loss of their chief caused the Rosses to flee.   No quarter was given, and the slaughter was conducted without mercy.
