From clanmunro.org.uk: In the 14th and 15th Centuries the Munros of Foulis like many other landowners held their land from the Crown for nominal rents such as a silver penny or a pair of Parisian gloves. An 18th Century tradition concerning the family relates that the rent for Ben Wyvis was a bucket of snow or snowball payable to the Crown on mid summer day to cool the Monarch’s wine should it be demanded. This no doubt alluded to the fact that the snow never melts in the northern conies of Ben Wyvis at that time part of Foulis Estate.
