Description:
|
An undated, large military map of Scotland from the Wade collection. It probably dates from some time after 1729. Pencilled notes on this map indicate military roads, named places, geographical landmarks, and the numbers of (presumably fighting) men that could be raised by the various highland clans, both friendly and hostile. The map gives a good indication of the construction work carried out by the command of Lieutenant-General George Wade (1673-1748) during his tenure as Commander-in-Chief in North Britain. Installations marked in red were built or improved upon, and some 250 miles (400 km) of road constructed between 1725 and 1740.
