Fort George is a large 18th-century fortress near Ardersier, to the west of Nairn. It was built to pacify the Scottish Highlands in the aftermath of the Jacobite Rising of 1745 (Battle of Culloden), replacing a Fort George in Inverness constructed after the 1715 Jacobite rising to control the area. The current fortress has never been attacked and has remained in continuous use as a garrison. The fortification is based on a star design; it remains virtually unaltered and nowadays is open to visitors with exhibits and facsimiles showing the fort's use at different periods, while still serving as army barracks.

A small, active Army base that is home to a fabulous collection of military memorabilia open to the public.

Excellent, intact fort. Built after the Battle of Culloden, but not needed by the time of its completion, it is still an active army unit. Multiple things to see, good views of the Black Isle and the chance to see dolphins.
