13812: Fort George, Inverness
Following the 1746 defeat at Culloden of Bonnie Prince Charlie, George II created the ultimate defence against further Jacobite unrest, resulting in a mighty artillery fortification. It is the only ancient monument in Scotland still functioning as intended – a working army barracks – but still welcoming visitors.
