For all those interested in Highlander military history this is a required stop if you’re in Inverness. We enjoyed it immensely in August 2025. It was a very blustery day, but it is the Scottish Highlands.

Amazing place to visit showing the history up to the modern day of the highland regiments The medal collection is amazing showing the bravery of the Highlanders

The Highlanders' Museum is the most important site to visit inside the Fort George. The heroic history of the proud Highland Regiments, which are the forebearers of the 4th Battalion of the Royal Regiment of Scotland, comes to life through well organized and presented authentic artifacts, flags, uniforms, weapons and paintings. The staff is polite and helpful and the whole establishment is well preserved and presents a fine military spectacle. As a military history enthusiast and professional military, I enjoyed the visit and highly recommend it.

Great place for exploring. There's a lot of walking. It's mainly flat with ramps for wheel chair users. The rain dampened our enthusiasm. The museum that's housed in the fort is good. The staff are lovely. There's no toilet in the museum. The toilet is located in another building. The cafe was also closed. So we ending up the mess hall having a cuppa rather than lunch planned.

What a strange experience walking around this old Barracks. Which is still in operation and occupied by working troops. A great walk around with a playback device that gives you great wee snippets of information about various elements of the Fort. It has some lovely views of the Moray Forth. And if you're lucky, you might see dolphins. We didn't, but we did see a young seal. The museum is absolutely packed with the military history of the various Scottish regiments. There is a nice wee cafe also situated within the fort. There is plenty of free parking outside the fort. Odd fact, they have a tree (a spanish fir?) opposite the museum that was brought back from Spain around the 1800. Highly recommended.
