Easter Ross

Easter Ross is a loosely defined area in the east of Ross and Cromarty, Highland, Scotland.
The name is used in the constituency name Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross, which is the name of both a House of Commons constituency and a Scottish Parliament constituency. The two constituencies have however different boundaries, because the boundaries of the Commons Easter Ross are different from those of the Scottish Parliament Easter Ross.

Places in Easter Ross:
* Tain
* Portmahomack

* Milton (of Kildary)
* Invergordon
* Alness
* Evanton
* Dingwall (included in some contexts in the term Easter Ross, though in some contexts it refers to the area to the north-east of Dingwall)

The area has quite a distinctive accent, and is well-known for its heavy use of the word "bey" (boy).
