[Shore at Fort George showing tides] : Plan of the pier /
Frazer Andrew,active 1781-1786.
cartographic

[probably 1785]
This is an undated and unsigned sketch of the pier at Fort George, Ardersier, with the fort and surrounding area. It can certainly be dated to after 1756 by the presence of Prince William Henry's Bastion, and from the style, and its relation to other plans, is probably one of Andrew Frazer's plans from 1785. There is a copy of the left hand portion of this at shelfmark MS.1650.Z.46/57g, and the right hand portion at shelfmark MS.1650.Z.46/57h.
Frazer's plans for the pier were, in his absence, altered in the construction stage by a Major Marr, which was to cause some problems for Charles Shipley two years later, as is mentioned on his plan at shelfmark MS.1650.Z.46/57c.
