[Sketch plan of ground at Ballindarg]

1700-1799
Description: 
This roughly sketched map is of an area north of Glamis Castle and south of Kirriemuir, in Angus, showing the Easter and Wester Mosses of Logie, the property of Ballindarg and its Moss, and the farmland around Logie and Ladywell. It is undated but has been assessed as 1700 or later. On the verso are extensive notes relating to a dispute between the laird of Ballindarg and his tenants over property rights. It includes a list of witnesses and list of grievances. There is considerable detail of the lands of Logie, where pasture, cornland and mosses are named, and features such as ditches are drawn. Disputes over property rights became common during the 18th century when improving landowners tried to enclose and amalgamate blocks of land, often reducing traditional rights or practices of their tenants as a result.
