Landscape assessment
Colin Shepherd
The following features were recorded during a landscape management survey of the 18th-century military road network as described under military roads IRS Foyers, Boleskine and Abertarff/Dores. Much of the road is still only c4m wide in its unimproved portions and many of the underlying culverts appear to have been re-used.
NG 9268 1874 Ratagan Very small early single arched bridge or culvert. IRS097
