Fort George (Gaelic: Dùn Deòrsa or An Gearastan, meaning literally "the garrison"), is a large 18th century fortress near Ardersier, to the north-east of Inverness in the Highland council area of Scotland. It was built to pacify the Scottish Highlands in the aftermath of the Jacobite rising of 1745, replacing an earlier Fort George built with the same aim after the 1715 Jacobite rising. The fortress has never been attacked and has remained in continuous use as a garrison.
The fortification is based on a Star design, it remains virtually unaltered and nowadays is open to visitors with exhibits and recreations showing use at different periods, while still serving as army barracks. Originally the depot of the Seaforth Highlanders and later the Queen's Own Highlanders (Seaforth and Camerons), it was more recently home to the Royal Irish Regiment, and as of 2007, the new garrison of the Black Watch, 3rd Battalion, Royal Regiment of Scotland.

went missing at the Idaho Fish and Game MK Nature Center in July. Tuesday (October 18,, 2011) he was spotted in a mounted wildlife display about ten feet from where he was last seen and is now safely back in his enclosure where the first thing he did was to drink lots of water. "George" has lived at the Nature Center for many years. He's a Great Basin gopher snake (Pituophis catenifer deserticola). Gopher snakes are native to Idaho and much of the western United States.

I feel I owe an explanation for this shot, George is currently the subject of a showcase thread in a group called Fur & Feathers with Attitude. It is basically the story of George's life although I am adding in as much infomation as I can about greyhounds in general and rehoming them.
The thread will run for one month only (October), so if you have ever wondered about greyhounds and rehoming feel free to ask and I will do my best to come up with an answer!

George helped me with my Greek immersion project. He introduced me to people, took me to Stamna and we attended a Greek Orthodox service together.
