Description:
This drawing titled 'Plan of Sir Robert Gordon's improvements at Dallas with the design of a large wilderness begun to be planted' dates to about 1740 and depicts the Dallas estate beside the river Lossie, Moray. It shows the village of Torchastle, with a nearby church, minister's house and the mill beside the river Lossie. The main part of the lands is a series of rectangular enclosed parks averaging 12 acres each. The words 'Sir Robert Gordon's improvements' are written across this. The proposed areas of woodland are shown on either side of the improved land, with serpentine paths through them and details of a proposed archway. A manuscript note has been added at a later date at the bottom of the sheet 'Gordonstown 4th May 1809 Referred to in my opinion of this date A Cowley[?] [C[?]by?]'
