		Fortrose is a burgh in the Scottish Highlands, located on the Moray Firth, approximately ten kilometres north east of Inverness.
		Fortrose was a parliamentary burgh, combined with Inverness, Forres and Nairn, in the Inverness Burghs constituency of the House of Commons of the Parliament of Great Britain from 1708 to 1801 and of the Parliament of the United Kingdom from 1801 to 1918.
		The constituency was abolished in 1918 and the Fortrose component was merged into the then new constituency of Ross and Cromarty.

		The heart of the town is therefore Cathedral Square, the tree-lined square surrounding the remains of Fortrose Cathedral.

		Reports are coming in from the western province of Fortrose that borders Xikuang that a rally organized by the Fortrose Camapaign for Independence has clashed with police in the regional capital Newfort.
		The independence movement in Fortrose has gained momentum over recent years largely fuelled by the large Xikuangese minority and their unlikely allies in the large agricultural sector in one of Celdonia’s few agriculturally rich regions.
		The immigrant population and their descendents, who comprise around 42% of the population, have long complained that they are culturally marginalized in Celdonia, feelings the government did little to alleviate when it rejected calls to recognise Xikuangese as an official language in the region, and to open schools that would teach in the language.
