These former barracks were constructed in the 18th Century. Local history suggests they were in use by Hanoverian forces during the Jacobite Uprising of 1745. However, evidence in the skews puts the construction date at around 1766. The barracks were known as the Yeomanary Barracks or Cumberland Barracks.
