Fortrose is a community as well as former royal burgh in Highland, Scotland, UK. It gets on the Moray Firth, concerning 6 miles (10 kilometres) north-east of Inverness. The community is recognized for its messed up 13th century cathedral, and as the house 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 largely knocked down in the mid-seventeenth century by Oliver Cromwell to give structure materials for a citadel at Inverness. The vaulted south aisle, with bell-tower, as well as a detached chapter house (used as the tollbooth of Fortrose after the Reformation) remain. These pieces, though modest in range, show considerable building improvement, as well as are in the treatment of Historic Scotland (no entrance fee). The burgh is a preferred place for trying to identify bottlenose dolphins (see Chanonry Point) in the Moray Firth. Fortrose shares a golf course with Rosemarkie. Set on the Chanonry Ness the program extends into the Moray Firth and provides good views of Fort George. The course is well known for its trademark 4th Hole "Lighthouse". The lighthouse concerned is the Chanonry Point lighthouse which was designed by Alan Stevenson as well as was first lit 15 Might 1846. Public buildings in Fortrose include a leisure centre, collection and also the only secondary school on the Black Isle, Fortrose Academy. The right pronunciation of the town's name in accordance with regional use is with the stress on the very first syllable.
