- Fortrose is a burgh in the Scottish Highlands, located on the Moray Firth, approximately ten kilometres north east of Inverness. The town is known for its ruined 13th century cathedral, and as the home of the Brahan Seer. In the Middle Ages it was the seat of the bishopric of Ross. The Cathedral was largely demolished in the mid-seventeenth century by Oliver Cromwell to provide building materials for a citadel at Inverness. The vaulted south aisle, with bell-tower, and a detached chapter house (used as the tollbooth of Fortrose after the Reformation) remain. These fragments, though modest in scale, display considerable architectural refinement, and are in the care of Historic Scotland (no entrance charge). The burgh is a popular location for spotting bottlenose dolphins in the Moray Firth. Fortrose shares a golf course with Rosemarkie. Set on the Chanonry Ness the course stretches out into the Moray Firth and offers good views of Fort George. The course is well known for its signature 4th Hole "Lighthouse". The lighthouse in question is the Chanonry Point lighthouse which was designed by Alan Stevenson and was first lit 15 May 1846. Public buildings in Fortrose include a leisure centre, library and the only secondary school on the Black Isle, Fortrose Academy.
- Fortrose er en by i Skottland, i regionen Highland. Fortrose ligger nesten innerst i Moray Firth på halvøya Black Isle, omtrent ti kilometer nordøst for Inverness. Landsbyen Rosemarkie ligger like ved. Byen er først og fremst kjent for katedralen fra 1200-tallet. Den ble delvis revet og ødelagt midt på 1600-tallet av Oliver Cromwell, som brukte stein fra katedralen til festningsarbeider i Inverness. Ved folketellingen i 2001 hadde Fortrose 1 174 innbyggere. I 2006 ble folketallet estimert til 1 220 innbyggere.
