Fort Augustus-Bernera military road is a eighteenth-century trackway in Inverness-shire, Scotland, forming part of the infrastructure constructed in the Highlands following the Jacobite Rising of 1745. The road represents the systematic military network established by the British government to improve communications and facilitate troop movements through previously remote terrain. Located approximately 570 metres south-east of Achlain, the route connected Fort Augustus with the Isle of Bernera and demonstrates the strategic importance placed on road construction during the post-rebellion consolidation period. The surviving remains of this military thoroughfare constitute evidence of the engineering efforts undertaken to extend governmental control and military access throughout the central Highlands.
