グランピアン山脈の洞窟・トップ20

Entering the castle at this strategically important location is currently not possible due to renovation work.

Nice to look at from a distance, but rather a sad sight up close

From the main road, you can't see much of the castle, although the white building is immediately noticeable as soon as you pass through the greenery. To truly see the castle, you really have to visit it.

Very well preserved castle. Was very amused by the little robot lawn mower doing its thing (and repeatedly bumping into a sign)

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.

Even without any background or knowledge, the Ruthven Barracks are impressive and not to be missed on your bike ride around Kingussie. The well-preserved ruins are free to visit.

This famous summer residence of the British royal family can only be visited during spring and early summer with an entrance ticket through the main entrance. This provides access to the castle gardens and the castle ballroom, where a different exhibition is held each year. There is also a café and a gift shop. Since 2025, a few tickets per day have also been available for enthusiasts to visit the castle's private apartments in small groups, including the room where Queen Elizabeth II's last photograph was taken. Very special, but also highly sought-after and expensive.

Ruthven Barracks is an early 18th-century infantry barracks built after the Jacobite Rising of 1715 to keep the Highlands under government control. The barracks complex is located at Ruthven, 1.6 kilometres from Kingussie, in the Highland region of Scotland. The barracks were destroyed during the Jacobite Rising of 1745–46. The barracks consisted of a symmetrical arrangement of two wings for living accommodation on the north-east and south-west sides of an open courtyard. The barracks had four floors. Each room had its own hearth, where the soldiers could prepare their own food. The complex was roughly square-walled with attached towers on the west and east corners. The ground floor of the former served as a guardhouse, the latter as a bakery and kitchen. The upper floors of the tower were used for the officers' accommodation. A well was located in the west corner of the complex. The main gate was located on the south-eastern side of the complex. On the north-western side, outside the walls of the barracks complex, there was a stable block.
