The minor road from Drumashie Moor is on the line of the 1726 Wade road to its junction with the 1732 road on the southern outskirts of Inverness. Re-alignment of the road at NH 6555 4096 isolates a 130m length of the old road on the E side, crossing the Holm Burn. The road ends at the castle, Inverness (NH64NE 9).
Visited by OS, March 1962.
The military road heads N into Inverness on the line now followed by the B862.
