Traditional Counties Of Scotland
The
Traditional counties of Scotland
are historic and cutural divisions of
Scotland
. The dates of the borders varies, for example
Cromartyshire
only took its traditional shape as late as
1685
.
Ross-shire
and
Cromartyshire
were administered as one (
Ross and Cromarty
). Apart from these entities, there had been 'counties of cities' (
counties corporate
) for centuries. When
county councils
were introduced in
Scotland
in
1889
, their areas, the
administrative counties
were based on the traditional counties, but the great many fragments and
detached parts
were consolidated, and
Ross-shire
was merged with the fragmentary
Cromartyshire
to form
Ross and Cromarty
.
