Ruthven Barracks Kingussie video
You can visit Ruthven Barracks any time, just park at the
bottom accross the road, clamber up the hill and open the
gate. For something a little more special, wait until night
time and go up to the castle, because by night Ruthven Barracks
is floodlight.
Ruthven Barracks was built by General Wade
as part of the infrastructure put in place by Government
after the 1715 uprising to control the rebellious Scots.
The barracks was burned in 1746 by Prince Charles Edward
Stuart's army on their retreat to Culloden.
There is currently no roof on the castle,
but it has been preserved and restored nicely, inside there
are boards showing how the soldiers lived, eat and cooked,
and more!
