| Description: | Looking east from the high ground above Fortrose. Ross & Cromarty. The photograph shows the cuspate foreland of Chanonry and entrance to the Inverness Firth with Fortrose in the foreground. Fortrose is built on the 100 ft. raised beach of which the much denuded south side is seen. The houses beyond stand on the 25 ft. raised beach and the 15 ft. beach forms the point. A spit with dunes of sand and shingle is currently forming at the point. |
