Fort Fincastle was built in 1793 by royal governor 'Lord Dunmore at an unusual location: Nassau the capital of the Bahamas. The name of the fort: Fort Fincastle' comes from Dunmore's second title of Viscount Fincastle '( Earl of Fincastle). He gave the fort a particular shape a circular building with a sharp expansion in the form of a bow or bow of ship. In order to deceive enemy ships. The sounds of the first bars show the contours of a looming majestic stronghold after a heroic theme follows. Soon we hear the threat of hostile elements. Work on the fort means much waiting and lonely but you should always alert and vigilant for the ever lurking attack. After the turn of yet another attack there is a feeling of satisfaction and pride we see the fort are on the hill towering above Nassau.
