Fortrose is a town and former royal burgh in Highland, Scotland, United Kingdom. It is located on the Black Isle, a peninsula on the Moray Firth. It is about six miles northeast of Inverness. The burgh is a popular location for trying to spot bottlenose dolphins in the Moray Firth. The town is known for its ruined 13th century cathedral, and as the home of the Brahan Seer.

A royal burgh was a type of Scottish burgh which had been founded by, or subsequently granted, a royal charter. Although abolished by law in 1975, the term is still used by many former royal burghs.
