Curiosamente, uno de los edificios más históricos de Fort William, que fue construido en 1692 como prisión de la ciudad y parte de las oficinas del sheriff local (en Escocia la figura del sheriff era equivalente a la de juez). En tiempos de dificultad, debido a la existencia de una cruz celta muy antigua, la gente iba a rezar en perÃodos de dificultad, por eso con el tiempo y de forma no oficial, la prisión fue denominada como la "iglesia del pueblo". Estos rezos eran en gaélico, lo que hizo que se declarase iglesia local, Iglesia de Escocia para acoger a los que solo hablaban gaélico en su fe.
Anteriormente, hay documentación histórica que demuestra que en esa localización estaba la iglesia de Kilmallie, entonces a orillas de Loch Linnhe, en una villa de pescadores.
Durante el siglo XVIII hubo una primera gran reforma debido a un incendio menor y en 1800 volvÃo a ser reformada para acoger a un mayor número de feligreses. Desde su fundación ha estado en pleno funcionamiento, lo que explica que su estado de conservación sea muy bueno. En la actualidad se sigue dando misa en gaélico, lo que le da una personalidad caracterÃstica de esta zona de Escocia.

Fort Stevens (Oregon)
Visited Fort Stevens State Park on a very rainy day.
Wiki -"Fort Stevens was an American military installation that guarded the mouth of the Columbia River in the state of Oregon. Built near the end of the American Civil War, it was named for slain Civil War general and former Washington Territory governor, Isaac Stevens. The fort was an active military reservation from 1863–1947.[1] The fort is listed on the National Register of Historic Places." Was also upgraded and used during the second world war, decommissioned in 1947.

Along the coast of the North of France you can find this fort on the beach. There was a big storm while I was there with my friends of the Schoorl group. After this event we learned to never trust the sea.
Baltit Fort or Balti Fort is an ancient fort in the Hunza valley in the Northern Areas of Pakistan.
In former times survival of the feudal regimes of Hunza was ensured by the impressive Baltit fort, that sit on top of Karimabad. The foundations of the fort are said to date back around 700 years, but there have been rebuilds and alterations over the centuries. In the 16th century the Thum married a princess from Baltistan who brought master Balti craftsmen to renovate the building as part of her dowry. The architectural style is a clear indication of Tibetan influence in Baltistan at the time.
The Mirs of Hunza abandoned the fort in 1945, and moved to a new palace down the hill. The fort started to decay and there was concern that it might possibly fall into ruin. Following a survey by the Royal Geographical Society of London, a restoration programme was initiated and supported by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture Historic Cities Support Programme. The programme was completed in 1996 and the fort is now a museum run by the Baltit Heritage Trust.

L'utilisation d'un drone n'est pas autorisée depuis la parcelle sous gestion du propriétaire du fort (qui va jusqu'au parking véhicules).
Il faut soit décoller depuis la plage située juste au sud du fort, soit décoller depuis un bateau.
Toute la zone située à l'est du fort est limitée à 50m de hauteur à cause de la zone contrôlée de l'aérodrome de Dinard.
