Fort George is a masterpiece of 18th-century military architecture near Inverness, Scotland. Built over 22 years following the Battle of Culloden, this star-shaped fortress was designed by William Skinner and constructed by the Adam family. The distinctive layout encloses an area equivalent to five football pitches, with ramparts exceeding one kilometer in length. Today, visitors explore the Highlanders Museum—Scotland's largest regimental museum outside Edinburgh—period barrack rooms, a grand powder magazine, and a garrison chapel. The fort remains an active military installation while welcoming the public, and unusually houses one of Scotland's two dog cemeteries honoring regimental mascots.
