Fort George
Built in 1746 following the battle of Culloden Fort George is one of the most outstanding military fortifications in Europe.
The huge fort covers 42 acres, and was designed to provide all the facilities of a small town.
It comprised a comprehensive range of buildings to accommodate the Governor and other officers, the artillery detachment and a large infantry garrison.
There was a bake house, brew house and chapel, a provisions store, powder magazine and ordnance store.
Today Fort George continues in use and is still operational as an army barracks.
