点评:I’ve seen this old barracks / castle a few times as I’ve driven past on the A9 and after googling it and finding out the history I decided to check it out.
To access it you need to leave the A9 and drive through the quaint little village of Kingussie…. approximately a ten minute journey from the A9 to the structure itself.
Entry and parking is free at Ruthven Barracks and you can wander the old buildings yourself at your leisure.
The car park is relatively small but could accommodate around 10 cars at a squeeze.
It was a cold windy day and I was the only person there.
There are various information boards dotted around both inside and outside which explain everything you need to know about the different parts.
Well worth a visit if you’re interested in history and particularly the conflict between the Jacobites and Government forces in the 1700’s.
I loved it although you’d struggle to access the building if you have mobility issues.

要进入它,您需要离开 A9 高速公路,穿过古朴的小村庄金古西……从 A9 高速公路到城堡大约需要 10 分钟。
鲁思文军营的入场和停车都是免费的,您可以随意漫步在古老的建筑中。
停车场相对较小,但可以容纳大约 10 辆车。
那天风很大,很冷,只有我一个人在那里。
里面和外面都有各种信息板,解释了您需要了解的不同部分。
如果您对历史感兴趣,尤其是 18 世纪詹姆斯党和政府军之间的冲突,那么这里非常值得一游。
我很喜欢它,尽管如果您行动不便,很难进入这座建筑。
