Fantastic walk round and great reading about the history. I am a historic Scotland member, so got in free. The only thing that let down my visit was the irresponsible dog owners that neglected to pick up their dog poop!

Incredible fort and interesting to see the defences in place. We didn't go in as you can see a lot before entry.There was a firing exercise at the same time, making for a unique experience. We took binoculars and could see dolphins in the bay too.

A highly recommended place to take kids lots of grass to stretch the legs just be careful to tell them to stay away from edge. Some amazing cannons and views from the top. Then alot of amazing people to read and learn about in the museum thanks so much to Sue and Tony.All schools should have a trip here for all to learn about all history and heritage of Scotland. Will definitely be back to enjoy this amazing place.

Wonderful place with a free guided tour. Donations welcomed. Tour guides will tell wonderful stories that might make you wonder if they are totally true but why question a good story. You also get to visit with a Jacobite who will tell you what life would have been like, where the phrase the whole nine yards came from and other phrases we still use today thanks to the powered musket. Beautiful views. Who knows you might even see dolphins.

It's wasn't on our must see list when we was around , but thanks God we have some spare time and decided to visit. Amazing place with great people (chaterboxes) . Shop with souvenirs , little coffee with restaurant and toilets available as well. Beautiful views over Chanonry Point if you are lucky enough you can spot some delphines. Really worth a visit.

Amazing scenery and superb staff, the museum was so interesting and there was lots to see and explore around the grounds of the fort, ended up walking around a few times to make sure I saw everything. Great day out

Tha surroundings are amazing. Wasn't able to get it because the last entry is 1h before it closes. Once we were on a road trip and that information was not available on google, we were only allowed to take a picture at the entrance ( we asked the lady and she was kind enough to allow us to). But from what we saw, it's worth the ride there. So please check the time before you go.

Upon arrival the castle was massive and took many photos the museum was great with many things to look at and a lot of history.The gift shop was big and had a verity of things and ended up buying every medal I could buy was very happy.The scenery is great you can see a vast area around the fort and even have a chance to see dolphins although did not see any.The fort is still being used as a military site so it's great to be able to see all the soldiers and interact with them even got to see some holding guns so super cool.The entrance price was cheap for what you got to see and I was able to keep busy for 3 hours so great place to go with the family and a lot to see.The fort walls are very high up so be mindful of that if your taking kids if anyone falls they will be in critical condition.honestly 1 of the best days out this year so very happy.

A great place for military history and a walk. The fort is well maintained you can walk all the way around on the top to see 360 degree views. The highlander museum is full of information and great displays it is worth the price of admission alone.

Interesting place not too far from Inverness if you are interested in old but active military base and history.. I particularly liked that they have a Highland Museum inside the complex which is included in the tour. Not much of a view from the fort but still worth a brief visit.
