Historic re-opening for Highland capital fortress
The magnificent 250-year-old Fort George, managed by Historic Environment Scotland, has re-opened for the first time since it closed its doors in March due to COVID-19 restrictions.
The fort is renowned as one of the most outstanding fortifications in Europe.
It was built in the wake of the Battle of Culloden (1746) as a secure base for King George II’s army in case of another Jacobite rebellion.
A number of new safety and hygiene measures are in place at the site:
Tickets must be booked in advance, while on-site cash payments are no longer being accepted for the foreseeable future, with visitors being asked to use contactless payment where possible.
Capacity will be reduced on site, one-way systems will be in place, and access to small enclosed spaces where physical distancing is not possible will be restricted.
Visitors will also be required to wear face coverings when entering the retail shops, and other interior spaces in line with Scottish Government guidance.
