Description:
Plan of design for part of the garden at the Grange, Peebles, belonging to the Hon. Major Thomas Cochran. It is drawn in ink with a colour wash. The Process states that William Adam was employed by Cochran to draw a plan since Boutcher's was not agreeable and therefore useless. Adam's plan was actually used in practice. The drawing is very fine with a ripple effect for water in the two ponds. There is no key but by comparison with the plan of this garden drawn by William Boutcher in 1733, it is possible to locate it. The garden is shown as a very geometric design with a central pond and small parterres or formal flower beds. A second water feature lay outwith the main garden. An avenue of trees extended south from the house.
