Under the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1889 Ross-shire was combined with Cromartyshire to form the single local government county of Ross and Cromarty, which continued until 1975. Ross and Cromarty was also known as Ross-shire, which was the name of the postal county which covered the mainland part of the local government county, and remained the postal county until 1996.
It may be doubted whether the Romans ever effected even a temporary settlement in the area of the modern county. In Roman times, and for long afterwards, the land was occupied by Picts, who, in the 6th and 7th centuries, were converted to Christianity by followers of Saint Columba. Throughout the next three centuries the natives were continually harassed by Norwegian Viking raiders, of whose presence tokens have survived in several place-names (Dingwall, Tain, and others). At this time the country formed part of the great province of Moray (Latin: Moravia), which then extended as far as the Dornoch Firth and the Oykel, and practically comprised the whole of Ross and Cromarty.
UK Parliament Scottish Constituencies General & Geographic Knowledge Atlas (16 Dec 2019) [1080p]
Scotland has 59 out of the total 650 consituencies that make up the United Kingdom Parliament at Westminster, to which a single member ('MP') is elected every 5 years or so (very roughly speaking).

We have also done some rudementary spatial anaysis using the available population & area data and embedded the results with the other contextual knowledge 'facts & figures' in the area seed topic. Seeing the 'Area', 'Population' and 'Population Density' figures for all constituencies side by side makes for interesting comparison. As a non-political ma...

Seeing the 'Area', 'Population' and 'Population Density' figures for all constituencies side by side makes for interesting comparison. As a non-political map the updates due to the last general election on December 12th 2019 are minor - a couple of additional electoral knowledge resources links and updating the 'constituency current political party' marker tags, so the map can be filtered by this political attribute.
