Description:
This manuscript map depicts the area around Killiwhymen (renamed Fort Augustus in 1727) as it was in 1724-25, and was presented to Lieutenant-General George Wade by Roger Debize. It shows the southern edge of Loch Ness and part of the path of the Rivers Oich (Hoich) and Tarff, as well as the barracks and other landmarks. Lieutenant-General George Wade (1673-1748) was appointed Commander-in-Chief in Scotland in 1725, and thereafter embarked on an ambitious programme of road, bridge and fortification building until 1740. This map was presumably prepared to help plan the construction programme in the strategically important Killiwhymen area.
