Ardross (Scottish Gaelic: Àird Rois, 'high-point of [Easter] Ross') is a rural area in the Highland region of Scotland, 30 miles (48 km) north of the nearest city, Inverness. Ardross lies near the B9176, 10 miles (16 km) inland from the east-coast town of Alness and progressively becomes more mountainous to the west and north. The area is populated by a small rural community mainly confined to the more fertile lower slopes to the east and the glacial glens of Strathrusdale and Strathy. The total area comprises about 30 square miles (78 km2), most of which is lower-slope farming, commercial pine forest on foothills and open mountain to the north and west. The largest concentration of dwellings is in the village of Dublin comprising about 30 houses and a church, so named as it was founded by Irish immigrant workers who built Ardross Castle. Since 2022, the castle has been used as the filming location for the BBC One reality game show The Traitors, as well as the American edition for the streaming channel Peacock.
