A visit to the museum is absolutely worthwhile

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.

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.
