A well maintained wind mill museum... It has more than a century old farm equipment on display... Indoor museum with tools n equipment is very nice... A visit to this place is like a walk down into the history.... It also showcases the life the local population led a century ago... It has a small cafeteria offering limited food n snack items.. A must visit ...

Nice few hours to visit whilst in Säärema. Can go inside some of the windmills and experience it. Ticket is fair for family of 4 - two adults and 2 children.

We didn't go inside. The place is perhaps located in the middle of nowhere!

Not very welcoming, not only we were unable to order any food but for the inconvenience they also tried to charge money for visit even though we were only interested in food and nothing else. Not recommended

Inverness Castle

Inverness Castle sits on a cliff overlooking the River Ness. The red sandstone structure evident today was built in 1836 by architect William Burn. It is built on the site of an 11th-century (c. 1057) defensive structure. Today, it houses Inverness Sheriff Court.

The castle is said to have been built by Máel Coluim III of Scotland, after he had razed to the ground the castle in which Macbeth of Scotland according to much later tradition, murdered Máel Coluim"s father Donnchad I of Scotland, and which stood on a hill around 1 km to the north-east.

The first Inverness Castle was partially destroyed by King Robert I of Scotland and a replacement castle was sacked in the 15th century by the Clan Donald during the Siege of Inverness (1429). The castle was occupied during the Raid on Ross in 1491.

In 1548 another castle with tower was completed by George Gordon, 4th Earl of Huntly (1514–1562). He was constable of the castle until 1562.
