Easter Ross (Ros an Ear in Scots Gaelic) 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.
Places in Easter Ross include:
- Alness
- 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)
- Evanton
- Invergordon
- Kildary
- Milntown of Tarbat (Milton)
- Portmahomack
- The Seaboard villages:
- Tain
The area has quite a distinctive accent, and is well known for its heavy use of the word "bey" (boy).
