Ruthven Barracks - 4

The Cairngorms were a notoriously difficult area to control. Following the Jacobite rising of 1715, the Hanoverian government ordered the construction of Ruthven Barracks and three other garrisons across the Highlands. These were 'to preserve the peace and quiet of the country'.
