The 11th Baronet Foulis was followed by his eldest daughter Eva Marion Munro as head of the clan. She married Colonel C. H. Gascoigne. Her son Patrick took his maternal grandfather's surname 'Munro' to become Clan Chief. However, Eva Marion Munro followed the 12th Baronet Sir George Hamilton Munro (1864-1945). The current baronet is Sir Ian Kenneth Munro, 17th Baronet of Foulis .
