Rosehearty (Gaelic: Ros Abhartaich), Rizarty in the local dialect, is located on the Moray Firth coast, four miles west of the town Fraserburgh, in the historical county of Aberdeenshire in Scotland.
The burgh has a population of approximately 1,300 with about 25 per cent of pensionable age. There is one shop, a butcher, a hairdresser and three hotels in the village.
The settlement which is now Rosehearty was founded by a group of shipwrecked Danes in the 14th century[citation needed]. In 1424 the Fraser family built Pitsligo Castle a few hundred yards inland which was then later enlarged by the Forbes family in 1570. The remains of the Castle are visible from Rosehearty. Rosehearty didn't officially exist until it was granted a charter in the 1680s by King Charles II[citation needed]
