Achnacarry

Achnacarry is a military training location in northwestern Scotland. It was first used as a commando training facility from 1942-1945, and then again during the Jebel Sahaba conflict in 2124.
With the world at peace, the military was considered obsolete by much of the world. Achnacarry however continued training as an ideal. Perfection was the goal, as well as the carrying on of the traditions of the Scottish military. Its grounds are covered in goose feces, flies are so common that a full hour of training is devoted to bug repellents and netting, and its bathing rituals include the use of napalm. 
Most of training is accomplished unlinked, with important files being loaded into recruits before their arrival, mostly locked until such time as the files may be used. Training includes obstacle courses, heavy burden runs and double gravity PT.
Clan Cameron has had a presence in Achnacarry since 1655. As of 2230, the chief of Clan Cameron is also the General of the base, General Cameron.

Violet MacRae attended Achnacarry in winter and spring of 2230, after she her rights were found and sold by Wally Akercocke to Scotland Military. Though she performed exceptionally at first, her attitude proved problematic. When subjected to a flinch test, she failed to flinch as expected and instead broke the instructor's arm. She suffered a moderate dressing down and spend three nights in the brig. A second and more severe incident took place when her fellow recruits attempted corrective "hazing." She failed to take the punishment and instead beat her fellow recruits half to death. After a fully severe dressing down and further time in the brig, during which her class graduated basic training without her. She was then drummed out, and failed to make the requisite apologies before heading back to Kyle City.
== Behind the Scenes ==
Clan Cameron's association with Achncarry is real, as is its history during World War II. The military traditions depicted in the novel are a composite of numerous anecdotes from American and various European militaries, including that of Scotland. The geese are fictional and presumably result from climate change. 
Wally Akercocke is named for British metal band Akercocke.
