- Ruthven Barracks was built 1719-1721 following the 1715 uprising/rebellion in Scotland. The British government imposed their will upon the Highlands of Scotland with a series of fortified barracks. Ruthven is the best preserved of these, built on the mound of. Medieval castle, commanding the road through the high mountains. The Barracks was seized by Jacobite forces following Bonnie Prince Charlie's landing in August 1745. Following the disastrous Battle of Culloden on 16 April 1746, the remnants of Bonnie Prince Charlie's army rallied at the barracks. Still a considerable force of 3000 soldiers, they were sent home by the Prince because he realised his cause was lost. The Jacobites set fire to the barracks as they departed on 17 April 1746 and it has been a roofless ruin since then.
Ruthven Barracks is now in the care of Heritage Scotland and is free to visit. Please support Heritage Scotland in caring for the history and heritage of Scotland.

The story of the Battle of Culloden and the 1745 uprising/rebellion is woven in to the story of Outlander. Jamie Fraser is incarcerated in Ardsmuir barracks, a place strikingly like Ruthven. This amazing location has been used in a number of films and TV productions including Chasing the Deer and Monarch of the Glen.

I thought Culloden was the Jacobites last stand ? It was the last battle on British soil
The Jacobite army rallied at Ruthven after Culloden. They discussed if they should continue the fight but decided to disperse as the odds were against them. Their last act of defiance was to burn Ruthven as they departed.
