Ruthven Barracks were finally completed in 1721. In 1745, 200 Jacobites tried to capture Ruthven Barracks which was defended by a force of just 12 redcoats. Commanded by a Sergeant Molloy, the redcoats fought off the Jacobites with the loss of just one man.
The barracks were finally taken in February 1746 when the Jacobites returned in much larger numbers and more suitably equipped with artillery.
