Cromwell's Fort continued from page 23 - accommodation for a thousand men
On the restoration of Charles II. it was demolished at the request of the Highland Chiefs in 1662.
A portion of the factory since erected there still remains and is used as a drill-hall by the Inverness Volunteer Artillery as also the clock Tower of the same building; but whether this Clock Tower formed part of Cromwell's original buildings or not cannot now be ascertained.
