Rosemarkie

A few miles from Fortrose on the north side of Chanonry Point is the tiny village of Rosemarkie.


Celtic saints Curitan and Boniface selected this sheltered spot on the southern shore for their Christian mission in the seventh century. St Boniface is remembered at nearby St Bennet's Well.

Beware of fairies, last sighted in the 1970's in Fairy Glen, now a nature reserve. A lovely marked trail leads into the glen from the top end of the High Street, through a wooded gorge where you may spot woodpeckers and treecreepers.
