Scope and Content St Andrew's Episcopal Church, Academy Street, Fortrose, Highland Fortrose began as a settlement belonging to the canons of Fortrose Cathedral. It became a royal burgh in 1590, but in 1691 was said to be still a 'little village'. By the later 19th century, the town was an established holiday resort. St Andrew's Episcopal Church was built in 1828 in Gothic style. The semicircular, or apsidal, baptistry at the west end (right) was added in 1904. Gothic architecture, the distinctive pointed-arched style of the later Middle Ages, was revived in the late 18th century. It remained popular for public buildings, especially churches, well into the 20th century. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
