More about this scene
Fortrose stands on the Black Isle overlooking the inner Moray Firth. Its ruined cathedral dates from the reign of David I. Some of the stone was taken by Cromwell's forces for use in the construction of a fort at Inverness. Fortrose was originally called Chanonry and was made a royal burgh in 1592. In January of that year a hoard of silver coins dating from the time of Robert III were unearthed near the ruins of the cathedral.
