Rosemarkie (, from meaning "promontory of the horse stream") is a village on the south coast of the Black Isle peninsula in Ross-shire (Ross and Cromarty), northern Scotland.

==Geography== Rosemarkie lies a quarter of a mile east of the town of Fortrose. The pair make up the Royal Burgh Of Fortrose and Rosemarkie, situated either side of the Chanonry Ness promontory, about north-east of Inverness. Close to the village the Markie Burn has its mouth in the Moray Firth. The stream runs into the Fairy Glen, a small and steep-sided valley established as a RSPB nature reserve.
