Description:
|
This sheet of sections accompanies the plan at shelfmark MS.1646.Z.02/49a, which shows how far building works had progressed at Fort George, Ardersier, in 1754. It is unsigned and undated, but can be dated from its accompanying plan, and was probably drawn by Charles Tarrant, as he was the draughtsman of that plan, and of most of the other work at Fort George, Ardersier, at this period. William Skinner was the chief engineer on the project, which was his major professional work.
