Image: Fortrose Cathedral Ross & Cromarty - Black Isle - Scotland

Description: Fortrose (Scottish Gaelic: A' Chananaich) 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 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortrose" rel="nofollow">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortrose</a> Further information on the history of Fortrose can be found at: <a href="http://www.fortrosemarkie.org/fortrose.htm" rel="nofollow">www.fortrosemarkie.org/fortrose.htm</a>
