Notes:
The SCAN gazetteer describes Ross and Cromarty as having been created through the merger of Ross and of Cromarty in 1889, but it was listed as a single unit in earlier census tables, such as the 1851 Education report.
We know of no alternate names.
We know of no associations with other units.
