Fortrose, This ancient Black Isle town was once the cathedral town of Ross shire and a noted seat of learning in medieval times. The cathedral was completed in the late I5th century and built of red sandstone, which lends a degree of charm and beauty to the now ruined structure.

Close by Fortrose is Chanonry Point and its lighthouse, where a stone marks the spot where Coinneach Odhar the Brahan seer, was executed, He was a rather misty character in Highland history, given credit for many proph­ecies that have since come true, such as the building of the Caledonian canal.

He proph­esied the downfall of a number of great Highland chiefs in circumstances that were fulfilled down to small details. He died because his noble lady employer asked him to tell her what her husband was doing in France. What the seer saw was not to her liking and she had him burned in a tar barrel.

Fortrose has some great bed and breakfast accommodation ideal for touring the Black Isle.

Play a Round of Golf at the Fortrose and Rosemarkie Golf Club If you enjoy golf, you might want to try going to the Fortrose and Rosemarkie Golf Club to get in a few holes. This scenic course features lovely vistas of the Moray Firth while at the same time presenting a game that is both fun and demanding.
