18th century house converted into a museum for local Pictish stones - the best is the Rosemarkie Stone, found in the floor of the old church. Another fragment depicts someone squaring up to a lion's jaws: it's called the Daniel Stone as the scene is assumed to be Biblical, but it looks more like a circus act. There's also a display of the work of George Bain (1881-1968) who studied the styles of Pictish and early Christian art, such as the Book of Kells, and re-launched their use in modern design.
Groam House Museum is a museum of Celtic and Pictish Art. Located in the village of Rosemarkie in the Black Isle, Scotland, its collection contains both the Rosemarkie Stone, one of the major surviving examples of Pictish art in stone, and the Rosemarkie sculpture fragments, that are 14 stone fragments, the most well-known being Daniels Stone. The museum also hosts the George Bain Collection. Bain, who is considered the father of modern Celtic design, spent many years working out the intricate mathematical designs found in Celtic art.

Ruin of a red sandstone cathedral built around 1250 AD. Many medieval nobles are buried here but their plots are lost. After the Reformation it was stripped of anything of value (such as roof lead) and became tumbledown, though the church was used into the 18th century and the graveyard to the 19th. What is now a separate building east was the sacristry and chapter house, and became the tolbooth and town council offices until 1939.
