Wades Military Roads/Caulfeild Map

From Roader's Digest: The SABRE Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search


After General Wade left the Highlands, his former deputy in the roads project took over, and was subsequently responsible for the construction of many more miles of road than Wade ever built. The map on the right will eventually show all the military roads built by Caulfeild and his successors, but the exact routes of some are still not clear, making it difficult to map them.

Caulfeild also built a Military road across Southern Scotland, from Gretna to Portpatrick on the Rhins of Galloway.
