Military Roads in Scotland

The Military Roads in Scotland
By William Taylor
208 pages, Paperbound

This scholarly book gives a complete history of the military roads in both the Highlands and the south-west of Scotland. Well received at its original publication in 1976, Dr. Taylor's account of the building of these roads brings home to the reader the nature of the many difficulties encountered and the techniques used by General Wade and his less well-known successor Major Caulfield. Well illustrated and with precise map references, the book has been revised to describe the roads as they can be seen and followed today, whether as rough tracks or upgraded to modern standards.
