Rosehearty ((スコットランド・ゲール語:Ros Abhartaich)) is a settlement on the Moray Firth coast, four miles west of the town Fraserburgh, in the historical county of Aberdeenshire in Scotland. The burgh has a population of approximately 1,300 with about 25 per cent of pensionable age. There is one shop, a butcher, a hairdresser and three hotels in the village. The settlement which is now Rosehearty was founded by a group of shipwrecked Danes in the 14th century. In 1424 the Fraser family built Pitsligo Castle a few hundred yards inland; the castle was enlarged by the Forbes family in 1570. The remains of the Castle are visible from Rosehearty. Rosehearty didn't officially exist until it was granted a charter in the 1680s by King Charles II. ==Notable people== Rosehearty is the birthplace of: * Hugh Mercer (1726–1777) British/American soldier and physician * Sir Walter Murdoch (1874–1970), Australian essayist and academic * Lawrence Ogilvie (1898–1980), plant pathologist 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rosehearty」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
