Abstract
Drawing on a range of primary and secondary sources pertainingto military roads and King’s Houses, this paper highlights thesignificance of space and material culture during the century ofconflict, mobility, and cultural assimilation that drew the ScottishHighlands and Gaelic culture into the nation-state of GreatBritain. The original fieldwork presented here locates, identifies,and analyzes lost inns known as King’s Houses, governmentownedinns established along military roads constructed by theBritish army throughout the eighteenth century. King’s Houseswere central to the narrative of Highland Scotland as a site of bothimprovement and internal colonialism within the British Isles.
