Relative, Care Inspectorate Report feedback, May 2026
The coastal town of Fortrose is the largest on the Black Isle - not an island, but a peninsula - and a busy administrative and commercial centre. It is also a popular tourist destination, attracting walkers, golfers and dolphin watchers. Chanonry Point offers outstanding views of Fort George and the Moray Firth, home to hundreds of bottlenose dolphins. Famous landmarks include the town's 13th century Cathedral and the Brahan Seer monument in tribute to the 17th century Highland prophet.
