Cromwell's Citadel (believe it or not)
Image: © Alasdair MacNeill Taken: 14 Jun 2009
This is pretty much all that remains of the once mighty Citadel built by Oliver Cromwell to subdue the Highlands. It was a 5-sided structure, with defensive 'points' jutting out from each corner giving it a star-like appearance. This grassy mound is one of those "points", and at one time had a hefty wall on top of it, with a guard tower.
