Description:
|
This sheet shows part of Fort George, Ardersier, specifically the Prince of Wales' bastion and Prince William Henry's bastion, with the route of the road to the ferry, and the proposed new route. It also has a section across the cut which will be needed through part of the defences to route the road, and a section across the walls for the cut. It is unsigned and undated, but seems to be Andrew Frazer's work, and is probably from around 1785. Andrew Frazer was working at Fort George, Ardersier between 1781 and 1786, at times being contemporary with Charles Shipley, who worked with him on the pier. Frazer also worked at Fort Charlotte, Shetland, Leith Battery and Corgarff Castle. Other plans of Frazer's from Fort George, Ardersier, are in images 00002769 (copy in image 00003228), 00002872 and 00002873 (copies in images 00003230 and 00003231) and 00003240-3241. His plans of Fort Charlotte, Leith Battery and Corgarff Castle are also in this collection.
