Rosemarkie from Scottish Gaelic: Ros Mhaircnidh meaning
"promontory of the horse
stream" is a village on the south coast of the Black Isle peninsula in
Ross-shire ( Ross and Cromarty ), northern Scotland.
Rosemarkie fronts on a wide, picturesque bay, with views of
Fort George and the Moray coastline across the Moray Firth. It has one
of the finest beaches on the Moray Firth Coast Line. At the southern end of the
beach is Chanonry Point, reputed to be the best location on the United Kingdom
mainland from which to see dolphins
Rosemarkie has a collection of
finely carved Pictish stones, which is one of the largest in Scotland at a
single site. These 8th-9th century sculptures, found in and around the village
churchyard, are displayed in the Groam House Museum, a converted 18th-century
town-house on the High Street. These carved stones are evidence for a major
early monastery at Rosemarkie, founded by, or associated with, Saint Moluag (d.
592) and Boniface, otherwise known as Curetán (fl. early 8th century). The
sculptures include cross-slabs, shrine fragments and architectural pieces.
