Tour Fortrose

Fortrose is a small town on the Black Isle very near to Rosemarkie, North of Inverness. It is both a holiday and dormitory town and a popular site for spotting dolphins in the Moray Firth. Although comparatively little remains of the great cathedral which was built between the 13th and 15th centuries, the ruins, in the care of Historic Scotland, dominate the town. A cairn on Chanonry Point to the east of the town marks the supposed site at which the Brahan Seer was burnt.

The Prophecies of the Brahan Seer (Miscellaneous) The gift of prophecy, second-sight, or "Taibh-searachd," claimed for and believed by many to have been possessed, in an eminent degree, by Coinneach Odhar, the Brahan Seer, is one, the belief in which scientific men and others of the present day accept as unmistakable signs of looming, if not actual insanity.
