Description:
|
This map entitled The East Part of the Shire of Inverness with Badenoch &c was engraved and published in 1725 by Herman Moll (1654?-1732) as part of his Atlas of Scotland. It encompasses the area from Inverness through the Great Glen to Fort William. The military communications through the Highlands were built or improved by General George Wade from 1724 onwards in reaction to the Jacobite rebellions of 1715 and 1719. Two roads are shown, one along the Great Glen, the other to Ruthven Fort and the south. The English army had three forts along the great Glen: Fort William, Fort Augustus (Kilwhuimon), and Fort George at Inverness. This original Fort George was destroyed by the Jacobites in 1746 and rebuilt further east near Ardersier.
