Once there, take your time exploring the winding trails through the preserved nature, leading you to the imposing guns. You’ll be immediately struck by the breathtaking panorama: an unobstructed view of the sparkling bays, surrounding islets, and distant mountains. It’s a place perfect for contemplation and photography, as well as an immersion into a fascinating chapter of Caledonian history.
