Fortrose
Fortrose is a town and former royal burgh in Highland, Scotland, UK. It is on the Moray Firth, about 6 miles (10 km) north-east of Inverness. The community is understood for its ruined 13th century cathedral, and also as the residence of the Brahan Seer. In the Middle Ages it was the seat of the bishopric of Ross, and formerly called Chanonry, for being the Chanory of Ross. The cathedral was mainly demolished in the mid-seventeenth century by Oliver Cromwell to give building materials for a citadel at Inverness. The vaulted south aisle, with bell-tower, and a removed chapter house (used as the tollbooth of Fortrose after the Reformation) continue to be. These pieces, though modest in scale, present significant 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 course extends right into the Moray Firth as well as offers excellent sights of Fort George. The training course is well known for its signature fourth Hole "Lighthouse". The lighthouse concerned is the Chanonry Point lighthouse which was designed by Alan Stevenson and was first lit 15 May 1846. Public structures in Fortrose include a leisure centre, collection and also the only senior high school on the Black Isle, Fortrose Academy. The appropriate pronunciation of the town's name based on neighborhood use is with the stress on the first syllable.
