- Source: Fortrose railway station
Fortrose was the terminus of a single track branch of the Highland Railway in north east Scotland. It connected villages in the Black Isle peninsula to the railway network via a junction at Muir of Ord.
Authorisation was obtained on 4 July 1890 to build a 15.75 mile (25 km) branch line from Muir of Ord to Rosemarkie; however the line never proceeded beyond Fortrose.
