  • Cromartyshire (Siorrachd Chromba in Gaelic) was a county in the Highlands of Scotland, consisting of a main portion between Sutherland and Ross-shire and a series of exclaves within Ross-shire. Ross-shire and Cromartyshire were combined as the single county of Ross and Cromarty by the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1889, and this became part of the Highland region in 1975. The only burgh of Cromartyshire was the county town, Cromarty. The Local Government Act 1889 provided that "the counties of Ross and Cromarty shall cease to be separate counties, and shall be united for all purposes whatsoever, under the name of the county of Ross and Cromarty. " The nucleus of the county consisted of the lands of Cromarty in the north of the peninsula of the Black Isle. To this were joined from time to time various estates scattered throughout Ross-shire, most notably the districts around Ullapool and Little Loch Broom on the coast of the Minch, the area in which Ben Wyvis is situated, and a tract to the north of Loch Fannich - which was acquired by the ancestors of Sir George Mackenzie (1630 - 1714), afterwards Viscount Tarbat (1685) and 1st Earl of Cromartie (1703). Wishing to combine these sporadic properties into one shire, Viscount Tarbat contrived to procure their annexation to his sheriffdom of Cromarty in 1685 and 1698, and the area of the enlarged county then amounted to nearly 370 square miles (958 km²).
  • Cromartyshire war eine Grafschaft in den Highlands von Schottland, die sich durch eine besonders starke geographische Zersplitterung auszeichnete. Cromartyshire entstand auf Betreiben von Sir George Mackenzie, dessen Vorfahren die zugehörigen Ländereien erworben hatten. Den Kern der Grafschaft bildete das Gebiet um Cromarty im Norden der Halbinsel Black Isle. Hinzu kamen eine Reihe von Enklaven innerhalb der Grafschaft Ross-shire, vor allem die Distrikte um Ullapool und Little Loch Broom an der Küste des Minch sowie das Gebiet des Ben Wyvis und ein Streifen nördlich von Loch Fannich. Insgesamt umfasste die Grafschaft ein Gebiet von zusammen 1053 km². Durch den Local Government Act 1889 wurden beide Grafschaften zu Ross and Cromarty zusammengefasst. Bei einer erneuten Reform 1975 wurde Ross and Cromarty durch die Highland Region und die Region Western Isles ersetzt. Hauptstadt und einzige Burg in Cromatyshire ist die Stadt Cromarty.
  • Cromartyshire (Siorrachd Chromba in Gaelico), o semplicemente Cromarty, è una delle contee tradizionali della Scozia, formata da una serie di enclavi delle quali quasi tutte sono contenute all'interno del Ross-shire (una sola confina anche con il Sutherland). Il capoluogo di contea era Cromarty. Nel 1889 il Ross-shire e il Cromartyshire vennero fusi insieme nella contea di Ross and Cromarty, che poi fu soppressa con la creazione della regione dell'Highland nel 1974.
