Military map of the Old Fort

The Fort

A military map of the old 'Fort at Inverlochy', i.e. the 'Fort' in 'Fort William'. This map dates from January 1657, and has each section of the fort clearly marked - complete with the governor's room (which has been recreated in panels within the museum), the commissary, the smithy, supply stores, etc. On the loch side of this map - in the grammar and spelling of the time - is the phrase: "This is the lough ... where our shipps comes in" written over the stippled water.
