The New Road is a historical novel by the Scottish writer Neil Munro, which was adapted as a television serial by the BBC.
Munro is now mainly remembered as the creator of the comic character Para Handy, but this is regarded as the best of his serious novels.
The central character is Aeneas Macmaster, a young man from Inveraray who travels north to investigate his father's disappearance and presumed death 14 years earlier at the Battle of Glenshiel.
It may also be slightly derivative of Robert Louis Stevenson's novel Kidnapped, which had a similar setting, and there are parallels between some of the characters.
There were five 45-minute episodes: "A Call to the North", "Col of the Tricks", "A Kistful of Muskets", "The Big One" and "A Balance of Accounts".
