Description:
|
A plan of the area of Killywhymen [Fort Augustus] from the Wade collection held by the National Library of Scotland. It was presented to General Wade by the surveyor Roger Debize in 1724. Killywhymen barracks were constructed after the 1715 Jacobite rising at a strategic point midway down the Great Glen, under the supervision of James Smith of the Board of Ordinance. It consisted of two barrack blocks facing each other across a square, with the rear of both forming part of the enclosing wall, and was strengthened by two corner towers. The barracks were later abandoned in favour of a new and stronger fortification, Fort Augustus, built on the peninsula to the right of the fort on the map.
