Fortrose
Fortrose is a town and also previous royal burgh in Highland, Scotland, UK. It is on the Moray Firth, concerning 6 miles (10 kilometres) north-east of Inverness. The town is recognized for its ruined 13th century cathedral, and also as the home of the Brahan Seer. In The Center Ages it was the seat of the bishopric of Ross, as well as formerly called Chanonry, for being the Chanory of Ross. The cathedral was mostly destroyed 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 also a separated chapter house (made use of as the tollbooth of Fortrose after the Reformation) remain. These fragments, though small in range, display substantial architectural refinement, as well as remain in the care of Historic Scotland (no entryway charge). The burgh is a prominent place for attempting to find bottlenose dolphins (see Chanonry Point) in the Moray Firth. Fortrose shares a golf course with Rosemarkie. Set on the Chanonry Ness the course stretches out right into the Moray Firth and supplies excellent views of Ft George. The training course is popular for its trademark 4th Hole "Lighthouse". The lighthouse concerned is the Chanonry Factor lighthouse which was created by Alan Stevenson and also was first lit 15 May 1846. Public structures in Fortrose consist of a recreation centre, collection as well as the only high school on the Black Isle, Fortrose Academy. The proper pronunciation of the town's name based on neighborhood use is with the tension on the first syllable.
