| Abstract: | The ruins of Ruthven Barracks consist of two blocks of buildings with an open space\r\nbetween them, possibly once walled in. The barracks were built by General Wade in 1737 on the site of an old castle which was once the residence of the Wolf of Badenoch. The ruins are described and illustrated in detail. The absence of any sort of gun emplacement proves that Ruthven was essentially a barracks rather than a fort. It was captured and partly destroyed by the Jacobites just before the battle of Culloden in 1746. | |||||
