Easter Ross
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Easter Ross is a loosely defined area in the east of Ross, Highland, Scotland.
The name is used in the constituency name Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross, which is the name of both a British House of Commons constituency and a Scottish Parliament constituency. The two constituencies have however different boundaries, because the boundaries of the Commons Easter Ross are different from those of the Scottish Parliament Easter Ross.

- Dingwall (included in some contexts in the term Easter Ross, though in some contexts it refers to the area to the north-east of Dingwall)
The area has quite a distinctive accent, and is well-known for its heavy use of the word "bey" (boy).
