History

Fortrose Cathedral

Overlooking the Moray Firth , the parish comprises the seaside villages of Fortrose and Rosemarkie and an attractive farming hinterland. There has been a long tradition of Christian worship in the area. Rosemarkie was the first centre of early mission and the kirkyard has yielded important Pictish remains, some of which are now housed in the adjacent Groam House Pictish museum. In Fortrose, the ruined medieval Chanonry Cathedral is one of the Black Isle's main tourist attractions.

Fortrose is the Black Isle's main service centre, with first rate medical centre, community/leisure facilities, library and educational provision. Fortrose Academy serves the whole of the Black Isle and continues to have an excellent reputation for the quality of education offered.

While local services provide some employment, many people living within the parish travel daily to work in Inverness , the Highland capital, which also provides a large range of facilities within easy access. In addition, the attractions of the parish have meant that many people choose the area for retirement.
