Cromarty dialect
Extinct dialect of Scots spoken in Cromarty

The Cromarty dialect of North Northern Scots was spoken in Cromarty, Scotland. The dialect originated from people who moved north from the Firth of Forth in the 15th and 16th centuries. The last native speaker of the dialect, Bobby Hogg, died in 2012 at age 92.

The dialect had a heavy influence on both Highland English and Scottish Gaelic. The dialect was recorded by Am Baile (The Highland Council's culture division) so that if it were to die out it could still be read and studied.
