Description
This is one of the few examples left of a Hanoverian(English) barracks. After the English had routed the Scots(Jacobites) in the battle of 1745 the Scots had to be kept subdued. It was the question of the succession to the English throne and as usual, a religious one. Yhis was the era of Bonnie Prince Charlie making his claim..unsuccessfully. The English army needed barracks and this was one of the most northerly. That's a very potted history!
The setting for this ruin is dramatic and a ruin gives a sense of romance to a scene...
Worth a look and for any comments, many thanka...jean

Well seen and captured, great history.
The day we visited it was actually blowing snow - brrrr. Good location for the shot - I certainly missed this one. I suggest tho that you straighten the framing and crop out that white bar.
I've read a lot about this part of history; such a sad conflict with bitter repercussions for so many. It's a beautiful ruin, though!
Fantastic work.. well done .... ROBY
Wonderful capture, Excellent well done..
Lovely scene. Very nice photo!
Fantastic place and thanks for info!
Very charming scene. Isn't it funny how so many places with a violent history look so pastoral and peaceful now?
