 | | Ross and Cromarty lies south of Sutherland and Dornoch Firth, west of the North Sea and Moray Firth, north of Beauly Firth and Inverness-shire and east of the strait of the Minch. |
 | | Thus Ross and Cromarty, though the third largest in size, is the least populated county in Scotland, excepting Sutherland, Inverness and Argyll. |
 | | The Rosses held what is now Easter Ross; the Munroes the small tract around Ben Wyvis, including Dingwall; the Macleods Lewis, and, in the mainland, the district between Loch Maree and Loch Torridon; the MacDonalds of Glengarry, Coygach, and the district between Strome Ferry and Kyle of Lochalsh, and the Mackenzies the remainder. |
