Description:
These Board of Ordinance plans by an unknown surveyor detail proposals to upgrade the military barracks of Killiwhymen (also known as Kilcumein), complete with side view of how the fortification would look once built. Killiwhymen was a key point in the highlands during the tenure of General George Wade (1673-1748) as Commander-in-Chief in North Britain. The old Barracks, designed by James Smith of the Board of Ordinance, was considered too small for its purpose, hence these plans to double its size and strengthen it with additional projecting towers. The scheme was abandoned by Wade in favour of constructing an entirely new fort close by between 1729-42, which became Fort Augustus. work_description These Board of Ordinance plans by an unknown surveyor detail proposals to upgrade the military barracks of Killiwhymen (also known as Kilcumein), complete with side view of how the fortification would look once built.
