cartographic

1785.
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.
