ID:ROMGH_PA_94_211DESCRIPTION:This row of cottages sits beneath the Craig in Bridge Street, Rosemarkie. Rosemarkie is a village on the south coast of the Black Isle. The bay sweeps round the peninsula of Chanonry Ness, covered by a golf course, to Chanonry Point where a narrow stretch of water separates the Black Isle from the Moray Coast. The lighthouse here is the best place to watch the bottle-nose dolphins which live in the Moray Firth and delight onlookers with their acrobatics.
Rosemarkie, whose name means "point of the horse burn", is joined with its neighbour Fortrose, but claims to be the more ancient of the two. There is evidence that a Pictish settlement once existed at Rosemarkie during the 8th century. More than 12 Pictish stones were found around the village churchyard and are now housed at the Groam House Museum in the village.
