Description:
This appears to be a Board of Ordinance plan detailing proposals to upgrade the barracks of Killywhymen. Although undated, it was probably produced prior to 1729. The old Barracks, designed by James Smith of the Board of Ordinance, was considered too small, hence these plans, the most apparent feature of which is the additional wing for the stabling of cavalry horses. The original weakness of the fort having only two enfilading towers has not been rectified in these plans. The scheme was abandoned by Wade in favour of constructing an entirely new fort close by between 1729-42, which became Fort Augustus. Killiwhymen was a key strategic site in the highlands during the tenure of General George Wade (1673-1748) as Commander-in-Chief in North Britain. work_description This appears to be a Board of Ordinance plan detailing proposals to upgrade the barracks of Killywhymen.
