	Ross-shire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ross-shire (Siorrachd Rois in Gaelic), or simply Ross, was a county of Scotland bordering on Sutherland, Cromartyshire (of which it contained many enclaves), Inverness-shire and on an exclave of Nairnshire.
		Ross is a historical, comital region, and hence the addition of -shire is a rather odd and superfluous anglicization.
		The Local Government (Scotland) Act 1889 also provided that "the counties of Ross and Cromarty shall cease to be seperate counties, and shall be united for all purposes whatsoever, under the name of the county of Ross and Cromarty."
