Fort Charlotte

Review
Image

Fort Charlotte in the centre of Lerwick, Shetland, is an artillery fort, roughly five sided, with bastions on each of three landward corners, and half-bastions on the corners of the seaward face.

The first incarnation of the fort was built between 1652-3 during the First Anglo-Dutch War. Little is known of the original structure and no trace of it has been found.

A good place to visit near the shops in Lerwick town centre. Its a cute little grassy area/ enclosed kind of castle and good to see some of Shetlands history. Offers great views around Lerwick
