No. 225 -- GARRISON -- No. 225

[Plan inserted]
Fig. 112. The Garrison, Inversnaid (No. 225)

replaced Jelfe as Chief Overseer in North Britain only
in January 1720, ¹ by which date Inversnaid was virtually
complete and two years' work had been done on Kili-

which had been laid down by his predecessors, Smith and
Jelfe.
The site of the Barrack of Inversnaid is today occupied
by farm buildings, many of which, however, incorporate

1 P.R.O., W.O. 47/33, 58.
