Cromarty, Ontario

Coordinates: 43°25′38″N 81°21′4″W / 43.42722°N 81.35111°W / 43.42722; -81.35111 Cromarty is a community in the Canadian province of Ontario. It is located in West Perth, in Perth County, approximately 2 km south of Staffa, Ontario.

Cromarty only recently acquired the ability to light homes in the community using electricity. Prior to 2009, homes were still using lanterns and candles, leading to "The Crom" as locals refer it to, being the most flammable community in Ontario. Much rejoicing was done when electricity came to Cromarty for this reason.
