Although the name of Ross-shire is now a historical one, many people still refer to the Ross and Cromarty area by this name. Up until the late 1800s, Ross-shire was a county of Scotland, commonly referred to as the County of Ross. Ross-shire was bordered by Inverness-shire, Sutherland, Cromarty-shire and Nairn-shire.

The main town in Ross-shire is Dingwall. Dingwall, which became a town back in 1050, was cited as a Royal Burgh way back in 1226 under the order of King Alexander II and this charter was renewed by James IV. Upon entering Dingwall from Inverness, the sign still reads welcome to the Royal Burgh of Dingwall, emphasising the pride that the town in the honour it had bestowed upon it.

Tulloch Castle is worth a visit with many features over 200 years old remaining in place in the Grand Hall. There has been a castle on this site since the 12th century and even though it has changed hands many times over the years, there is no doubt that Tulloch Castle remains a place of great history and interest to visitors to Dingwall and Ross-shire.

Literary lovers will appreciate the fact that Macbeth, well known to Shakespeare readers, spent much time in the local castle and spent much time playing on the banks of Peffery river.
