Description:
|
This anonymous plan, dated to the mid-18th century, includes a simple compass rose and a red and white linear scale. The meadow is shown divided into 9 arable fields belonging to three different proprietors, Mr McDowal, Alexander Leslie, and James Inglis. The arable land was surrounded by a wide grassy border. Drains extended around the meadow on both sides. The plan has a different colouring for each proprietor's land. A separate key gives the area measurements of each field, and the grassy areas and drains.
