Latest editions of the maps below are at cantonmentmaps.scot

Using information from 18th century manuscripts, some of which we have transcribed, we have produced maps of the locations of the British Army in the decade after the Battle of Culloden (16 April 1746). These locations are known by the military term 'Cantonment', encompassing barracks, fortified buildings and camps.

The data for the following maps are contained in the research document available from the Downloads page. The document contains thousands of records found in dozens of source documents, the main ones being 18th century British Army manuscripts.
