Fortrose is a village that was once a thriving place that has been through a down time and is now feeling a new lease on life, four new buildings in the last few years, with another being started soon, also some refurbishing of old buildings. Recent sales of farms has released more sections available for building on, giving more opportunity for growth in the village. Tourist route for the Popular Catlins brings many visitors to this area so in tourist season this place is busy.
