| ROMAN ROAD (Supposed Remains of) | continued | that after Searching inquiry had been made for information about it in the district only one person was found who had any definite Knowledge of its position. This person Mr Finlay of Grantown, having previously traced out and identified a portion of it pointed out what he and local tradition considered the site of the remaining part of the road through the parish and its course on the plans has been shown accordingly this route is in accordance with that given by General Roy and other public writers of the track of the 10th Iter [Iter=Marching Route] through Vespasiana, and they account for the want of remains indicative of its Roman origin to the face that the Romans throughout Vespasiana did not make their roads with the massy materials which they usually employed, in Similar works of greater Stability. The road is supposed to have entered this county from the South at Bridge of Brown in Glen Lochy, after which its course was along General Wade's Military Road. the greater part of which from Spey Bridge to Bridge of Brown is Still used as a county road, to the farmsteading of Lynmore, thence past the farm steading of Ballintua on to the river Spey whose eastern bank it took a Short distance below the houses Known as Feabuie and Kept as far as the Mains of Cromdale, where was Situated one of the Roman Stations called Tuessis whence after running a short distance in the same direction it crossed the Spey at the ford known as Garabha Mòr, then changing its direction northward it passed close to the farmsteading of Tomvaich from which point, its direction was the same as that of the old Statute labour road existing now from there to Forres, and which is believed to have been made on its Site. The only remains of it that exist and have been traced is a portion extending from the camp at Mains of Cromdale to a point in the wood immediately below the ancient chapel near Congash. |
