General Wade
|
|
(George Wade, 1673–1748) Soldier who built a network of roads and bridges in the Highlands of Scotland. Although their purpose was military, to control the clans after the *'15 Rebellion, the excellence of the roads combined with Wade's own diplomacy meant that his name has been remembered warmly even in Scotland.
