Description:
|
This manuscript plan of the western defences of Edinburgh Castle was drawn in 1735, and probably by John Romer. The key is detailed, noting which sections of wall and gun batteries were rebuilt in 1733 and 1734 and which sections were due to be rebuilt in 1735. The old wall line is shown as a dotted line. The reorganization of the western defences was aimed to straighten out curved sections of the wall which had proved dangerous in the 1715 Jacobite Rising. The sentry box drawn in the elevation was designed by John Romer.
