View of George Square, Glasgow's central civic square, with its idiosyncratic red asphalt and the Walter Scott Monument. The square is named after King George III, as it was laid out during his reign. However, all the original Georgian architecture has been replaced by different buildings in other styles, such as the ornate City Chambers that appear in this picture, a masterpiece of Victorian architecture.

This is the oldest English fort remaining on Georgia's coast. From 1721 until 1736, Fort King George was the southern outpost of the British Empire in North America. A cypress blockhouse, barracks and palisaded earthen fort were constructed in 1721 by scoutmen led by Colonel John “Tuscarora Jack” Barnwell. For the next seven years, His Majesty’s Independent Company garrisoned the fort. They endured incredible hardships from disease, threats of Spanish and Indian attacks, and the harsh, unfamiliar coastal environment. After the fort was abandoned, General James Oglethorpe brought Scottish Highlanders to the site in 1736. The settlement, called Darien, eventually became a foremost export center of lumber until 1925.
Using old records and drawings, this 18th century frontier fortification on the Altamaha River has been reconstructed for public tours. Structures include a blockhouse, officers' quarters, barracks, a guardhouse, moat and palisades. A museum and film cover the Guale Indians, the Santo Domingo de Talaje mission, Fort King George, the Scots of Darien and 19th century sawmilling when Darien became a major seaport. In addition to the many fort buildings, remains of three sawmills and tabby ruins are still visible. This site is on the Colonial Coast Birding Trail.

Fort King George State Historic Site is a fort located in the U.S. state of Georgia in McIntosh County, adjacent to Darien. The fort was built in 1721 along what is now known as the Darien River and served as the southernmost outpost of the British Empire in the Americas until 1727. The fort was constructed in what was then considered part of the colony of South Carolina, but was territory later settled as Georgia. It was part of a defensive line intended to encourage settlement along the colony's southern frontier, from the Savannah River to the Altamaha River. Great Britain, France, and Spain were competing to control the American Southeast, especially the Savannah-Altamaha River region.
Fort King George was a hardship for troops assigned there. A total of 140 officers (including Col. Barnwell) and soldiers died, mostly from camp diseases such as dysentery and malaria, due to poor sanitation (none from battle). The soldiers made up The Independent Company of South Carolina, an "invalid" company of elderly British Regulars, one hundred in all, sent over from Great Britain. Their suffering was largely caused by their own poor health, and inadequate provisions due to poor funding. Problems such as periodic river flooding, indolence, starvation, excessive alcoholism, desertion, enemy threats, and potential mutiny exacerbated hardships at the fort.
The fort was a model for General James Oglethorpe when he set up his southern defense system for Georgia and established a settlement along the Altamaha River. In 1736, Oglethorpe brought Scottish colonists to settle the site of the abandoned Fort King George. They called their village New Inverness, later named Darien. That same year, Oglethorpe built Fort Frederica on Saint Simons Island. Oglethorpe borrowed extensively from ideas laid out earlier when South Carolina imperialists, such as John Barnwell, Joseph Bowdler, and Francis Nicholson, planned Fort King George as part of a defensive system.
Operated by the state of Georgia, the fort has been reconstructed and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is open to the public for historical tours. Structures include a blockhouse, officers' quarters, barracks, a guardhouse, baking and brewing house, blacksmith shop, moat, and palisades. The park's museum focuses on the 18th-century cultural history of the area, including the Guale, the 17th-century Spanish mission Santo Domingo de Talaje, the fort, and the Scottish colonists. An exhibit explains the 19th-century sawmilling at the site and the remains of two sawmills and ruins. Tabby cement ruins, based on a regional building material, also can be found on the property. Site staff offers living history programs year-round.

George is the entire reason I got into dogs in the first place. I grew up afraid of all dogs other than Beau,my childhood GR who lived in a dog house outside, and a few neighboring farm dogs that were as sweet as can be (also part BC). George was my first experience with an indoor family dog (he belonged to J's family) and I fell in love with him. He was incredibly smart and knew so many words and commands...many more than any BC I have or have ever met! He was an incredibly sweet, fun-loving and very forgiving dog. He won my trust and helped me overcome my fear of dogs. I have since volunteered at local humane societies and will always be more than willing to walk the pitties and other 'scary' dogs.
George Washington was in town and meeting with drinks at the old State Capitol!
A successful casual evening reception honoring the new installation, "George Washington is Here! Images of the Founding Father in the North Carolina State Capitol”.
Selfies captured patrons with the roaming George Washington re-enactor, some engaging him about the first president’s life. A special curator’s exhibit tour rounded out the evening. Raleigh Brewing Company's finest was on hand, with music by Chamber Music Raleigh.
Not many patron's had ever visited the Capitol in the evening, even fewer to the outside balconies. We at the Triangle Downtowner would like seeing more evening events held here in the future. The Capitol is a beautiful building.
The North Carolina State Capitol's mission is to preserve and interpret the history, architecture, and function.
For additional information about the Capitol or the exhibit, please call (919) 733-4994.
