Fortrose is a community and previous royal burgh in Highland, Scotland, United Kingdom. It is on the Moray Firth, concerning 6 miles (10 kilometres) north-east of Inverness. The community is recognized for its destroyed 13th century cathedral, and also as the house of the Brahan Seer. Between Ages it was the seat of the bishopric of Ross, and also previously called Chanonry, for being the Chanory of Ross. The cathedral was largely demolished in the mid-seventeenth century by Oliver Cromwell to supply structure products for a citadel at Inverness. The risen south aisle, with bell-tower, and a separated chapter house (made use of as the tollbooth of Fortrose after the Reformation) continue to be. These pieces, though modest in range, present significant building refinement, and are in the treatment of Historic Scotland (no entryway fee). The burgh is a preferred place for trying to spot bottlenose dolphins (see Chanonry Point) in the Moray Firth. Fortrose shares a golf links with Rosemarkie.
