Cameron Barracks, Category B listed military barracks in Inverness, Scotland
The Cameron Barracks consists of four two-story blocks enclosing three sides of a parade ground, with twin conical drum towers connected by a balcony.
Built between 1876 and 1884, the barracks served as the depot for the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders from 1886 until their relocation to Fort George in 1960.
The barracks established its connection to Scottish military music in 1910 when Pipe Major John MacDonald led the first Army Class of Instruction under Piobaireachd Society supervision.
The facility continues its military function today, housing the Regimental Headquarters of The Highlanders and the 4th Battalion of the Royal Regiment of Scotland.
During World War I, the barracks processed numerous volunteer recruits and temporarily held both conscientious objectors and captured German submarine crew members.
