NH63NW 31.01 6000 3503 - 6313 3999: B862 is on the line of the 1732 Wade road.

The military road re-alignment continues N towards Inverness.
M Logie (Highland Council) 1997; NMRS MS 1007/3.

A desk-based assessment and walkover survey were carried out in advance of a new water main between Lochend, Dores Primary School and Loch Ashie Water Treatment Works, a distance of approximately 6.5km.
Much of the proposed pipeline ran alongside the B862, which follows the line of Wade's Military Road, built in 1732. A watching brief was maintained during the excavation of trial pits along the road in case remains of the military road were disturbed. Trial pits near other buildings were also monitored, but no significant deposits were encountered.
Full report lodged with the NMRS.
