Ruthven Barracks, near Ruthven in Badenoch, Scotland, are the best preserved of the four barracks built in 1719 after the 1715 Jacobite rising.
The site dates back to 1229, when it was originally a castle used by the younger son of King Robert II of Scotland, demolished in 1451 and replaced with a second castle in 1459. This new castle was contested during the Wars of the Three Kingdoms and was severely damaged during the Jacobite rising of 1689. Due to the continuing unrest in this period, it was decided by the British Government to build a series of fortified barracks and Ruthven Barracks were completed in 1721. The barracks could accommodate 120 troops and 28 horses.
Despite its capacity, there were only 12 soldiers to defend the barracks against 200 Jacobites in August 1745, but they successfully held the barracks, killing 2 Jacobites in the process. However, the following year they found themselves facing a much larger body of Jacobites under the command of Prince Charles Edward, which surrounded the barracks and fired cannon shot into it.
Following the Battle of Culloden in 1746, around 3000 Jacobites retreated to Fort Ruthven, but Bonnie Prince Charlie sent them all home, telling them their situation was hopeless. As they departed the Jacobites destroyed the barracks.

Looking for the perfect canvas print but worried about fading, sagging, or poor-quality materials? This premium stretched canvas print is designed to solve these common frustrations, offering museum-grade quality that lasts a lifetime.
Each custom canvas starts with a 12-colour Giclée print on finely textured 400gsm artist-grade 100% cotton canvas, ensuring every detail is reproduced with outstanding clarity, rich colours, and deep contrast. Unlike cheaper alternatives, these canvases resist fading with a 100-year colour guarantee, so your artwork stays vibrant for decades.
Framed with European kiln-dried knotless pine, the canvas frames are built for strength and durability. A curved profile design minimises contact with the canvas face, preventing unwanted impression marks or surface cracking. Finger-jointed corners provide natural tension, helping to resist warping over time. For larger sizes, discreet wooden wedges are included, ensuring the canvas stays taut and allowing for easy re-stretching in future years if needed.
Each piece is hand-finished by experienced framers, ensuring perfectly smooth, tight folds on every corner. The 38mm deep frame adds a gallery-style presence to your space, while the three edge finish options - black, white, or image wrap - allow you to tailor the look to suit your style.
With effortless elegance and unmatched craftsmanship, these canvases are ready to hang, built to last, and designed to impress. Transform your space with art that stays as stunning as the day you bought it.

Avoid wet or abrasive cleaning products. Do Not Press or Scrub - The surface of the canvas is delicate. Never use water, cleaning sprays, or scrubbing motions, as this may damage the print.
