Ruthven Barracks, Kingussie, Scotland - The last Jacobite battle! Bonnie Prince Charlie 

I know it well Maureen. I thought the ground might be boggy so skipped it after all the flooding. Hope it brought back happy memories

America a baby? Well I think not. What about the Aztec, Inka, Indian history?

Many thanks and best wishes. Have a great weekend! I never take our amazing history for granted that’s for sure and it never fails to impress no matter how often I visit

@@wolfdog7265 granted but a lot of our historical sites aren’t preserved the way they should be

Used to pass this place regulariy on the way to my German Stalker pals at the Invreshie House Hotel at nearby Kincraig, back in the eighties,stunning area. Lighting at night is positively haunting and dramatic. Always meant to have a look round the Barracks but sadly never got around to it. Really enjoyed your video. Used to do battlefield renactments with an 18th Century replica three pounder, RFA Period Uniform the lot. The coat and tricorn hat was surprisingly effective in inclement Highland Weather. The 45 is a particular old hobby. One of the first things you learn about the 45 is that many of The Redcoats were in fact Scottish. The Argyll Militia,The Royal Scots(Pontuis Pilutes Bodyguard) The North British Fusiliers(Ayrshire),Gardiners Dragoons,The Glasgow Militia,The Cameronians, The Black Watch. Add to that Dutch,German, and French Hueganots and The 45 is not so clear cut as it would at first seem. There were English County and Household Regiments there they were by no means alone however. There is a recorded incident at Ruthven of a Sergeant Molloy and a limited number of men defending The Barracks against a Superior Jacobite force when this was I do not know. The Jacobite's later burned the place. Dragoons inccidentaly could function as cavalry or infantry being 'armed to the teeth,' with sword and pistol,as well as musket and bayonet as opposed to cavalry carbine.

Many thanks Sheila. Glad you enjoyed

the failure of the 45 can 100pc be put down to L G Murray - that is one man Charles was right in never forgiving - but to those who might only know of Culloden Charles Edward Stuart makes the easy target .

Much appreciated, see you on the next
