The Siege of Ruthven Barracks that took place over the 10 – 11 February 1746 was part of the Jacobite rising of 1745.
In August 1745 the Jacobites had unsuccessfully laid siege to the barracks being repulsed by a small group of Government soldiers.[1] However the Jacobites returned in February 1746 this time equipped with cannon,[1] and as a result the Government garrison surrenderd.[2][3] After the Government surrender the Jacobites burned Ruthven Barracks, although the damage must have been slight because they were still in use afterwards.[4]
