Fort George sits behind its massive grass-topped artillery defences on an isolated spit of land jutting west into the Moray Firth at Ardersier, 11 miles north east of Inverness.
Conceived in the immediate aftermath of the 1745 uprising and the nearby Battle of Culloden that concluded it, Fort George was intended to be a once and for all solution to the threat posed by the Highlands, and the Jacobites in particular.
Fort George, which is an active British Army base, is the only property in the care of Historic Scotland still serving its original purpose.
The Steading holiday cottage is 30 miles from Fort George.
