Hamish Homes works with buyers and sellers across the Black Isle and the wider North of Scotland. You receive honest pricing and market-led advice. Our team supports you from valuation through to completion.
Rosemarkie was an early Christian settlement linked to Saint Moluag and Saint Boniface. It was a religious centre before the cathedral was built nearby.
The village holds one of the largest single-site collections of Pictish carved stones in Scotland. These 8th and 9th century sculptures are kept at the Groam House Museum on the High Street.
Together with Fortrose, Rosemarkie forms the Royal Burgh of Fortrose and Rosemarkie. The street pattern still reflects the old burgh layout. Long plots run back from the High Street. This history gives the village a settled character. Many buyers value this when choosing a property here.
Rosemarkie has a village shop and a community cafe near the beach. The Plough Inn and Groam House Museum are also within the village.
Day-to-day needs can be met locally. Nearby services add more choice for shops, healthcare, leisure, and secondary education.
Primary-age children attend Avoch Primary School, with school transport in place. Secondary pupils attend Fortrose Academy, less than a mile away. Larger supermarkets and Raigmore Hospital are in Inverness.
Rosemarkie is on the A832, with the A9 reached at the Tore roundabout. Inverness is around 12 miles south.
The drive to Inverness usually takes 25 to 30 minutes over the Kessock Bridge. This is useful for buyers who work in the city. Stagecoach Bus 26 runs broadly hourly between Rosemarkie, Avoch, and Inverness Monday to Saturday.
Many services continue on to Cromarty. The nearest rail station is in Inverness. Inverness Airport is around 30 to 35 minutes by car.

The Old Garden is a home that immediately stands out. Designed as a bespoke self-build, the property has striking contemporary architecture which creates a home that feels individual yet welcoming from the moment you arrive. The dramatic glazed frontage rises through the centre of the house, drawing daylight deep inside and gives the property a real sense of openness. Arranged across four split levels and extending…
Older sandstone cottages and townhouses stand along the High Street and back lanes. These properties carry traditional features and reflect the original burgh layout.
Detached and semi-detached homes are found on residential streets behind the seafront. Most include gardens and off-street parking. This is useful for households needing more room.
A smaller number of homes face the Moray Firth. Others stand within walking distance of the beach. These properties often attract strong interest when they reach the market.
Homes should be ready for viewing before launch. This helps buyers make decisions with confidence.
Hamish Homes provides free valuations and covers the cost of your Home Report upfront. You pay nothing until your sale completes.
Buyers from outside Scotland should check Land and Buildings Transaction Tax. The Additional Dwelling Supplement may apply if the Rosemarkie property is a second home. Offers in Scotland are submitted by a solicitor. Hamish Homes can connect buyers with solicitors who handle Black Isle transactions regularly.
Video walkthroughs can be arranged on request. External footage can show the street, parking, and beach access. Drone footage may help with properties that have land or a coastal position. Follow-up calls can answer detailed questions before an offer is made.
Parts of central Rosemarkie fall inside a conservation area. A small number of buildings near the old burgh are listed. Internal work is usually simple. Window changes, extensions, signage, and external paint may need consent from Highland Council.
Many High Street and seafront homes rely on on-street parking. Not every property has a private driveway. Parking pressure can increase near Chanonry Point during dolphin season. We confirm parking arrangements before buyers make decisions.
Older sandstone homes may need closer checks. Properties near the red cliffs may also need more detail than the standard Home Report. A Level 3 building survey can check stonework, roof condition, drainage, and coastal exposure.
Cash buyers and chain-free buyers appear regularly in Rosemarkie. Many are coastal movers or downsizers selling further south. This can shorten the sale timeline and reduce fall-through risk.
Rosemarkie is a small village, so identical sales are not always available. We use recent Rosemarkie figures where possible. We also compare verified sales in nearby Black Isle villages. The final figure reflects plot, condition, and position.
