A Plan of the barrack at Killewhiman [i.e. Kiliwhimen] anno 1719 /
Jelfe, Andrews,active 1704-1759.
cartographic

1719.
This map, and its contemporary copy at shelfmark MS.1647.Z.03/09b, are listed in the "Board of Ordnance Register of Plans 1700-1800" as being from "Mr. Jelfe". They bear a strong resemblance to the maps surveyed and drawn by John Henri Bastide and John Dumaresq, in 1718 (at shelfmark MS.1647.Z.03/08a and contemporary copy at shelfmark MS.1647.Z.03/08b). They perhaps derive from them, or from the same survey, since Jelfe worked with Bastide and Dumaresq on the four new Highland forts of Kiliwhimen, Bernera, Ruthven and Inversnaid, which were built between 1718 and 1724.
The map shows the land around Loch Ness in 1718, where the rivers Oich and Tarff enter it, and the proposed site for the new barracks fort of Kiliwhimen. It has topographical and hydrographical notes, and shows the site of the old Kiliwhimen Castle.
