Description
Craig Phadrig is a fascinating hilltop fort dating back to the Iron Age that towers over Inverness, Scotland. The origins of its construction date back to around 300 BC.
The site was an important Pictish tribal center, and excavations have revealed traces of metallurgy and French pottery dating back to the 7th century. An interesting aspect of the fort is the vitrification process, in which the stone walls were partially melted at high temperatures.
From this strategic point, there are breathtaking views of the Beauly Firth and surrounding countryside - an ideal place for history and nature lovers.

Grant Cossar2 months agoNice little walk through the woods with some lovely views
Craig Bromley5 years agoThis is a great walk with lots of amazing views. There are 2 trails to walk. Yellow the longer and blue the shorter both well marked with posts. There is also a lot of opportunities to go of the main tracks for a little adventure. Enjoy with your kids and the dogs
