Before we go to airport of Inverness, we visit for a short time a fortress of the 18. century "Fort George".

Fort George, a fortress near of Inverness is to day one of the construction most magnificent of this time in Europe. It was built so as to have a long period of peace for the Scots Highland after the rebellion of the Jacobines of 1745. This construction destroied and replaced an earlier one.
