Fort George - This fort was built by the English after the battle of Culloden (1746) under the direction of the Duke of Cumberland. It was built (about 1780) primarily to subdue the Scots and keep them in check. It was named after a previous castle (in Inverness town) which was destroyed by the Jacobite's (the Scots) to stop the English using it.
It is the oldest fortification in the UK still being used by the British Army today. It covers some 42 acres and the interior is at or below sea level. The walls are up to 50 ft thick and have rooms built into them. It has never seen action in war. It is situated on the edge of the village of Ardersier about ten miles east of Inverness.
