Description:
This map shows the routes of all the military roads, totalling 250 miles (400 km) in length, built by order of Lieutenant-General George Wade during his tenure in command in Scotland (1725-1740). It is unsigned and undated. Geographical features are generally not represented; the exception being the watercourses in the vicinity of the coloured Stirling to Fort Augustus road, the last built by Wade. The section running south from Dalnacardoch was constructed in 1730, with the Dalwhinnie-Fort Augustus stretch being made the following year. The cost of these new roads, together with numerous bridges, was over 6,500, a large sum for that time. In 1733 Wade constructed his famous bridge on the Tay on this route, near Aberfeldy (not marked). Designed by William Adam, it still stands today, carrying traffic on the A846.
