Description: 
This untitled sketch plan shows an area south of Edinburgh, east of the then village of Duddingston. It has no scale or compass but three of the cardinal points are named with north to the right. It is lightly coloured. It was filed in the Court of Sessions, 11 March 1564, concerning a dispute about water for the Mill of Duddingston. Mills were an important source of income to landowners who had the right to force their tenants to pay to use their mill. Two mills are shown on a lade issuing from a mill pond dammed from the stream running east from Duddingston. The mills had vertical water wheels. Kilns to dry the corn to a state suitable for milling stand beside the mills.
