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.

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.

I 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.

What an interesting and historic place to visit for anyone even slightly interested in military history. Unbeknown to us on the Saturday we visited, the Fort was holding its annual Highland games. This wonderful event, combined with the forts fine defensive walls and military barracks, not to mention the superb views over the Moray Firth, makes it a must-see destination for anyone visiting this part of Scotland.

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.
