Description:
This anonymous plan was drawn in 1586 in relation to legal action between Dundas and Elphinstoun. It shows lands at Harnstoune (Arniston) and Schanck (Shank). There is a large plan of Castleton on the reverse. The plan is strongly coloured with deep green and brown washes distinguishing pasture, arable and woodlands. Buildings are shown in a bird's eye view with the exception of Schanck (Shank) castle which is shown in elevation surrounded by its garden. At Harnstoune (Arniston) a stone bridge and a waulkmill are drawn. At waulkmills flax was worked to separate the linen fibre from the woody stems. Linen was an important industry in the 16th century.
