Parish notes

The parsonage revenues, along with those of Cromarty, were quartered in 1256 between the dean, chanter, chancellor and treasurer of Ross, following upon the re-erection of the cathedral chapter (Vet. Mon. nos. lxxx, clxxxii). The sub-division continued at the Reformation, the cure being served by a vicar perpetual (Assumptions cited OPS ii (2), 567; RSS iii no.1564; iv no.245). The cathedral church which stood at the Chanonry, later styled Fortrose, was not parochial until after the Reformation, its teinds therefore falling to Rosemarkie (RSS xl, 106). Cowan 1967, 172. Not mentioned in Shennan 1892.
