Cromartyshire

           

 Cromartyshire, now amalgamated with Ross-shire, is one of the UK's northern-most counties and also one of our most sparsely populated. Covering a vast expanse in the Highlands of Scotland, Cromartyshire is remote from major conurbations with the exception of Inverness, and has a particularly rural and agriculturally-dependent local economy. As a result, transport infrastructure is comparatively weaker than elsewhere in Scotland, both roads and public transports. However, far from the bustling cities of the Central Belt, Cromartyshire offers a true retreat from the rat race, and life at a much slower pace that many would-be residents find alluring.

 The A9 provides the main arterial route for road transport from Cromartyshire both north and south. The so-called 'back-bone of Scotland', the A9 links Cromartyshire up to Thurso at the northern tip of Scotland and south through Inverness, Perth and Stirling. The A96 also links direct to Aberdeen, the closest city after Inverness.

 Rail links from nearby Inverness are particularly strong, with frequent passenger routes running to Aberdeen, Dingwall, Edinburgh, Glasgow Queen Street, London King's Cross and London Euston stations, making for easy rail transport to major UK destinaions.

 

 Inverness Airport is approximately 30 miles from Cromartyshire and is the nearest to the county. Aberdeen Airport is also in proximity, for flights to connecting airports elsewhere in the UK or a limited offering of international destinations.

 Ferries leave from Aberdeen to the Orkney and Shetland islands, while Hebridean Islands are also served by passenger ferry routes from nearby.
