Old Photograph Chapel Fort George Scotland
Old photograph of the Chapel in Fort George near Inverness, Scotland. The garrison chapel was built in 1767, probably to a design by William Skinner. Interior, two tiered arcade on three sides supported by Roman Doric columns. Eighteenth century three decker pulpit. Fort George, Gaelic: Dùn Deòrsa or An Gearastan, the latter meaning literally " the garrison ", is a large 18th century fortress near Ardersier, to the north east of Inverness in the Highlands. It was built to pacify the Scottish Highlands in the aftermath of the Jacobite rising of 1745, replacing a Fort George in Inverness constructed after the 1715 Jacobite rising to control the area. The current fortress has never been attacked and has remained in continuous use as a garrison.
