Ruthven Barracks. Built after the Jacobite rebellion of 1715 and finished in 1721 the barracks commanded the main north-south route of Strathspey. In 1745 it withstood an attack by Prince Charles Edward Stuart (Bonnie Prince Charlie) but surrendered to his main force in 1746 and was burnt. The stable block was added around 1734.
