The largest town in the western Scottish Highlands, very close to [Ben Nevis]?, Britain's highest mountain. It is also at the southern end of the Great Glen, [Glen Albyn]?. Despite the name, there is no military presence now - the fort being referred to was constructed to control the population following Oliver Cromwell's invasion during the English Civil War, then helped suppress the Jacobite uprisings of the 18th century
