Scope and Content This is a slightly blurred, close view of the SW end of Fort George, showing the chapel, provision store and brewery, the NAAFI and the Ordnance Stores. The barrack blocks are just coming into view at the bottom. Fort George was constructed following the '45 rebellion to replace Inverness Castle which had been seriously damaged but by the time it was completed in 1769 its purpose had been overtaken by military developments and by the Napoleonic Wars it was doubted whether the defences could withstand a modern artillery attack. It is used at present (2020) as an army barracks, but is also a major tourist attraction with a regimental museum. Title and Scope & Content contributed by North of Scotland Archaeological Society (2021).
