Description:
|
This is an engraving by Richard Cooper of 'A map of the forrest of Mamlorne' copied from an original survey drawing by David Dow(n)ie. As the map had been drawn in connection with a land dispute, there is a note affirming that the engraving had been carefully revised by Dow(n)ie. The map covers an area of hill land in Perthshire, depicting the relief of the hills and the lines of the watercourses quite accurately. A number of small settlements are named. Some are specifically marked as shielings or summer grazing. Mamlorn(e) had been a royal hunting forest. It is first mentioned in the Exchequer Rolls in 1456 when James II declared that all grazing and other farming on the land was to cease and the land was to be left waste to preserve the hunting.
