This sheet is an unsigned copy of the plan at shelfmark MS.1647.Z.02/66a, which shows William Skinner's repairs and additions to Fort Augustus, as a consequence of its partial destruction by the army of Charles Edward Stuart, just before Culloden, in 1746. The original plan follows Skinner's initial plan at shelfmark MS.1647.Z.02/65a, (copies at shelfmarks MS.1647.Z.02/65b and MS.1647.Z.02/65c).
