Decided it was high time I paid a visit to Fort George https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_George,_Highland as it has been on the to do list for many a year.
For any that have an interest in military history I would recommend a visit, I thought we would perhaps spend an hour or two but ended up the best part of four hours with quite a bit left over for the next visit.

Looks like the weather was perfect for a visit! Great pics!

 

Great day, thanks for sharing.

 

Nice place, nice weather and nice pictures.

 

What have you done to the rain?
Thanks for sharing. Another one on my "visit Scotland" shortlist,
Slàinte!

 

Sunshine and a shortage of the "Midge' obviously I kept up my quinine intake just in case

 

Thank you,
such and under-rated watch military watch.

I was worried that it was just some sparkling water with lemon.
I hope you had a double, since we all know that Malaria cases are rising in Scotland, damn Global warming!

 

You are not far from the truth as the last time we visited Fort George there were dolphins swimming and leaping about within easy sight of the shore.I can thoroughly endorse Alpha's views on a visit here

 

It looks like your Smiths had a big smile on it's face...

 

I love my W10. Great watch. What strap is that?

 

Great straps from Ollie over on M.W.R. I suspect he is about to make his final batch http://www.mwrforum.net/forums/show...e-DEF-3-A-F-0210-Type-37-pattern-strap/page11
If you are not already a member and you have an interest in military pieces well worth joining

 

To be honest given the weather this summer the possibility of "Trench Foot" was probably greater but taking no chances
