Creator: 
Campbell, Dugal (active 1725-1757)
Creator Role: 
Surveyor
Date: 
1746
Description: 
This is a copy of the plan at shelfmark MS.1646.Z.02/30a, which was the final plan in Dugal Campbell's set of six plans for upgrading Fort William between 1744 and 1746. There is no date or signature on this plan, so it is not possible to know whether it is a contemporary copy done by Dugal Campbell or a later copy by someone else. This and its original show later additions to the military plans, as a consequence of the 1745 rebellion by Charles Edward Stuart. The original is dated only three months after the battle of Culloden and details extra barracks to house a greater complement of soldiers, specifically ordered by the Duke of Cumberland.
