| Administrative History | The Royal Burgh of Cromarty dates from at least the twelfth century. Since the reign of Robert I, the burgh was associated with the earldom of Ross, following the forfeiture of which in 1475, the status of the burgh is obscure until a charter of 1593, which newly erected Cromarty into a royal burgh. In 1672 Parliament accepted the resignation of Cromarty as a royal burgh and it remained a burgh of barony thereafter. Cromarty Town Council was abolished in 1975 under the terms of the Local Government (Scotland) Act, 1973 (c. 65). Its powers were assumed by Highland Regional Council and Ross and Cromarty District Council. |
