Visited by OS(no date).

The military road, having been untraceable through open farmland, then follows the A95 N of NH 9565 2060. A rough track takes up the line at NH 9733 2255 at Blanacruie for 0.5km, but as the route continues N it becomes overlain with tarmac. There is little of interest by way of military features in this section. Having passed through Skye of Curr it crosses the River Dulnain at Dulnain Bridge (NH92SE 47), believed to be of relatively recent date.
M Logie (Highland Council) 1997; NMRS MS 1007/7.
