There are not many places in Scotland especially the highlands thnat dont have Jacobite connections ,we visited Fort Augustus and Fort William both sieged during the 45 .Although they survived the sieges very little remains of the forts now other than the names ,there is amusuem in Fort Willaim that contains some nice 45 related items but sadly due to covid we could not get in .One thing we did visit at Fort William wasthe Commando memorial not 45 related but very well presented and emotional with the garden of rememberance and the arae were ex commandoes can have their ashes spread .On the way home we stopped at Loch Ness of course and visited ,welll as close as security allowed the sinister Boleskin house and the associated graveyard,all very scary . On our journey back to England we stopped at Blair Atholl altough we did not have time to actually get into the castle but all the more reason to revisit .
The photos above are of Blair Atholl ,the ones below are Fort William
