Description:
This undated manuscript, probably from the mid 18th century, is a detailed and apparently accurate sketch of the area directly north of Loch Watten, Caithness. It shows the commonty of Lynegar, Brabster and Watten. Accompanying notes give details referring to letters on the map. A number of antiquities are shown, probably more in relation to the establishment of boundaries than for antiquarian interest. They include Neolithic and Bronze Age burial cairns which would have been prominent in the landscape and therefore useful landmarks. Land use is recorded, including areas cut for peat, grazing and arable. One area is marked as too wet for cattle. A mill and farms are shown, some named. Improvement appears to have begun as several new enclosures are noted. work_description This undated manuscript, probably from the mid 18th century, is a detailed and apparently accurate sketch of the area directly north of Loch Watten, Caithness.
