Jacobite Travels pt4

A visit to Fort George was next on our list , After Culloden Britain wanted the ultimate deterrent against further uprisings and the outcome was Fort George . The Huge fort was bristling with Artillery and was an 18th century triumph , jutting out into the Moray Firth it controlled land and sea access to the area. It has been home to many Highland regiments and even though it is still home to the Black Watch most buildings and the entire wall are open to the public ,many weapons and uniforms are on dispaly with the added bonus of seeing the modern vehicles and troops on duty ,with the occasional Dolphin and Porpoise popping up for a look .
