Description:
Detail of a map of Peebles published by the surveyor William Edgar in 1741. The 'cartouche' (a decorative framed title), common on early maps, dedicates the map to Charles, Earl of Traquair, a major landowner in the Peebles area. Traquair house has been drawn as a mansion with two flanking wings. In common with many Scottish mansions, during the 17th century Traquair had been extended from a defensive tower house to a 4-storied mansion with two service wings flanking a front courtyard added. Landowners like the Earl of Traquair were among the most well-educated and sufficiently rich people who collected maps in the 17th and 18th century. work_description Detail of a map of Peebles published by the surveyor William Edgar in 1741.
