10 months agoGreat 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.

a year agoI love old castles but was not disappointed by a visit to this fairly old Fort built after Culloden. If you go on a nice day the walk up on the ramparts is stunning with great views of the Moray Firth and Chanorey point where the Dolphins play. A great day out.

a year agoWhat 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.
