Description:
This 18th century plan is intended to show a proposed road from Kincardine O'Neil to Craigellachie. The existing turnpike and commutation roads are shown in yellow. The new road should be red but is visible only as a faint line. Turnpike roads were paid for by trustees who then recouped their costs by charging tolls. Commutation roads were based on a system introduced in 1669 requiring people to provide labour to build roads; often this labour was commuted into money. Hills such as Suie, Tap o Noth and the Cabrach are named and marked with hatching. Settlements include Keig, Kincardine, Learney, Craighall and Tillycairn. An inn, several churches and the site of 'a great fair' at the Muir of Rhynie are noted.
