Bin Forest - Burma road construction

Second picuture of log book sent in by Mr D MacTavish which his father had kept as a record of men and loads of material used on the construction of the Burma road in the Bin Forest.
Interested to find out why it was called 'Burma' road. Did this refer to the hard manual work by service personnel perhaps with some similarities to the infamous Burma Railway! Perhaps it was the name of a construction style perfected in colonial days in Burma?
There are many Burma roads and I have been told of one in Gartly Moor Forest. Where are the others?
