Description:
This plan titled 'Draught of Braid's Burn etc.' was engraved by Kirkwood in the second half of the 18th century. It shows an area in the environs of Edinburgh around Duddingston. It has no scale or compass and it is not coloured. Handwritten annotations in red ink mark the line of supply of water from the burns to water cisterns at Comiston and Swanston and show lands to be alienated. The plan may have been drawn to settle a water dispute. Other features of interest include the villages of Portobello and Duddingston, with associated mills, mansions etc. On the coast there is a salt works belonging to Lord Abercorn. Salt would have been produced by boiling and evaporating sea water.
