Description:
|
A plan of the intended route of a road linking Invercall in Braemar with the barracks at Ruthven. It is dated 1735, and is by Joseph Avery. Major William Caulfield, mentioned in the annotation, was assistant to General George Wade (1673-1748) as surveyor of military roads. The plan is detailed, with buildings, high ground, watercourses and other features on the route through Glen Feshie and Glen Geldie clearly marked. The house of the Earl of Mar, leader of the 1715 Jacobite rising, is also visible. In fact, this road was never constructed, presumably due to a need to divert finance to other projects.
