Fort George

cannon

Fort George is the mightiest artillery fortification in Britain. Following the 1746 defeat at Culloden of Bonnie Prince Charlie, George II created the ultimate defence against further Jacobite unrest. The result, Fort George, is the mightiest artillery fortification in Britain, if not Europe.

I recommend a visit if your near Inverness, An audio tour of the fort is available and worth paying for as it brings the forts history alive.
