Fort George played an important defensive role during its time. Now a historic site, you can only imagine some of the spectacles its fortified walls have witnessed.

This history-filled fortress in Inverness is popular with fellow travelers, so make a spot for it on your schedule. Don't think that's all there is to do here, though. There are plenty more places waiting for you to discover after Fort George. Castle Stuart, Chanonry Point Lighthouse, and Rosemarkie Beach are not far away.

9/10 Wonderful! (148 reviews)

Beautiful stay with amazing views/setting and the staff were so friendly and helpful, particularly Puneet who checked us in and the restaurant staff (I forgot to get their names sorry!) who were very attentive and gave great recommendations. Food was also delicious, highly recommend the Indian! And really recommend booking the hot tub and sauna. We will definitely come back!
