Fortrose
Fortrose is a town and former royal burgh in Highland, Scotland, UK. It is on the Moray Firth, concerning 6 miles (10 kilometres) north-east of Inverness. The town is known for its wrecked 13th century cathedral, and as the house of the Brahan Seer. Between Ages it was the seat of the bishopric of Ross, as well as previously called Chanonry, for being the Chanory of Ross. The cathedral was largely knocked down in the mid-seventeenth century by Oliver Cromwell to supply building materials for a citadel at Inverness. The risen south aisle, with bell-tower, and also a detached chapter house (made use of as the tollbooth of Fortrose after the Reformation) continue to be. These pieces, though modest in range, present considerable architectural refinement, and also remain in the care of Historic Scotland (no entrance charge). The burgh is a popular location for trying to spot bottlenose dolphins (see Chanonry Point) in the Moray Firth. Fortrose shares a golf links with Rosemarkie. Set on the Chanonry Ness the program extends right into the Moray Firth and supplies good views of Ft George. The course is popular for its trademark fourth Hole "Lighthouse". The lighthouse in question is the Chanonry Point lighthouse which was designed by Alan Stevenson and also was first lit 15 May 1846. Public buildings in Fortrose include a leisure centre, collection and the only high school on the Black Isle, Fortrose Academy. The appropriate enunciation of the town's name according to neighborhood use is with the tension on the initial syllable.
