Ruthven Barracks

After the wonderful historic museum, we proceeded on to see Ruthven Barracks. This is where the infantry was housed, along with many other locations across the highlands after the Jacobite Uprising. The purpose was to help prevent future uprisings.
The day was misty, cloudy and cold, so we did not go inside, or get up close, but you can click the link here below to get more information.

The barracks are built high on a hill, overlooking the village below.
Absolutely beautiful!!

On our drive back to Aviemore, we drove past Loch Alvie. Scenic!!
