    Impressive ruins just outside Kingussie. They're free to visit and will impress even if you're unfamiliar with the story of the Jacobite Rising.

      The best preserved of our barracks built by George II after the 1915 Jacobite uprising. Striking on top of the hill and well worth exploring up close.
