Scope and Content Cathedral Church, Fortrose Cathedral, Fortrose, Highland Fortrose Cathedral was built in 1236 as a replacement for a smaller structure at Rosemarkie. After the Reformation, the south aisle survived as a burial-aisle and the chapter house as a council house and school. This is the south aisle of the cathedral church, the burial place of the Mackenzies of Seaforth. The narrower west end is said to have been built as the burial chapel of Euphemia (d. 1394), wife of Alexander Stewart, 'the Wolf of Badenoch'. Burials inside churches were banned in 1581. Wealthy families got around this by converting disused religious structures into mausolea, by adding burial-aisles to churches, and, in the 17th century, by creating separate burial-enclosures.
