Hi Everyone: I think what Richard has said that Mitchell's map might have meant French Fort. Someone who might solve this would possibly be Barry Moody, Professor of History at Acadia who lives in Karsdale in the original Shaffner-Armstrong house that was built in the early 1800's. It's about less than a kilometre from the Habitation. Cheers, Wilf

Hi Wilf The consensus, so far, is that the Charles Fort (Scottish Fort) was built in the area of the first "Habitation" as is described in the Mitchell map in Savary. A question that I'm still trying to get resolved is why does the Fort Anne Historic Park website "seem" to indicate that Charles Fort (Scottish Fort) was built in present-day Annapolis Royal which would place it prior to Fort Anne at the Fort Anne site? And in contradiction to what is Savary. Maybe I am interpreting what is at this site in error? See http://geocities.com/naforts/ns.html?200723 for the reason I am saying this. Seems to say that the Scotch Fort was built where Fort Anne is (in present-day Annapolis Royal.) I have a question into the Fort Anne Historic Park people to try and resolve this apparent discrepancy to what is shown in Savary. Haven't heard from them yet but will pass along any response. Wilf, I would be happy to contact Barry if I knew his email addy. I asked you for that earlier today.
