Fortrose Cathedral was the episcopal seat of the medieval Scottish diocese of Ross in the Highland region of Scotland near the city of Inverness. It is probable that the original site of the diocese was at Rosemarkie, but by the 13th century the canons had relocated a short distance to the south-west, to the site known as Fortrose or Chanonry. Fortrose Cathedral is situated 1 mile southwest of Groam House Museum.
King George’s Fields
Recreation area
A King George's Field is a public open space in the United Kingdom dedicated to the memory of King George V. In 1936, after the king's death, Sir Percy Vincent, the then–Lord Mayor of London, formed a committee to determine a memorial that was not solely based on the idea of a statue. King George’s Fields is situated 3,900 feet southwest of Groam House Museum.
