A military base that is still active and can be visited. In addition to extensive insights, there is also a very well-stocked museum. However, you can only visit this if you have paid the entrance fee at the entrance. This was around 15 pounds per person. It is well spent, because there is a device hanging around your neck on which all the details are explained in detail, also in German. If you take in all the details, you should plan on about 2-3 hours for the detailed visit. A small restaurant has snacks and drinks at reasonable prices.

Hiking

Fort George is run by Historic Scotland so checking opening times on their website is important. The fort is still active so you can sometimes see soldiers around. The site takes some time to walk around, so leave plenty of time. The museum in the fort is also worth a visit, and the visitor centre has audio guides available.
