Description:
A sketch plan from the Wade collection, with extensive notes of the area between Fort William and Kilmahog, near Callander. Despite the heading, this appears to show recommendations for the upgrading and improvement of existing roads, rather than proposals for new ones. Roads in the Highlands in the early eighteenth century had a reputation for being impassable to wheeled traffic, especially in winter. This was why Lieutenant-General George Wade ordered the construction of a new road network between 1725-1734 to aid military movements. In all, some 250 miles were constructed, most being built beyond the boundaries of this map, to the north and east.
