Ross-shire
Ross-shire was a
traditional county in
Scotland, bordering
Sutherlandshire,
Cromartyshire (of which it contained many enclaves) and Inverness-shire. In
1889 it was merged with Cromartyshire into
Ross and Cromarty.
The county town is Dingwall. The name is still used for geographic and cultural purposes, and there is a Ross-shire Journal that covers the area.
