Description:
This manuscript plan of the western defences of Edinburgh castle was drawn in about 1730. It shows the west end of the castle rock in some detail, with elevations of a new section of wall and a sentry box. The key refers to a wall built on the order of General George Wade. Wade was sent to Scotland in 1724 to restore the government's military capabilities. He was responsible for castle maintenance and for building many roads and bridges. In the 1715 Rising, Jacobites had nearly entered the Castle through a gate in the western defences. This plan shows the former position of the gate and the old curved wall which had been replaced the year before this map was drawn. work_description This manuscript plan of the western defences of Edinburgh castle was drawn in about 1730.
