Description:
This plan of the western suburb of Inverness drawn in 1743 gives insight into the growth of the town. A view of Inverness drawn by James Gordon in 1650 shows a single row of houses here. Petite's map of 1718 shows growth beginning. Recent archaeological research suggests that while there may have been some settlement on the west bank of the Ness after the bridge was built in the 13th century, the main development of the suburb took place from the mid 18th century. This plan gives details of each croft, marking barns, garden ground and even a kiln. One field is described as 'the field Fraser was enclosing when he was stopt', a reminder that the 18th century was the period of land enclosure throughout Scotland. work_description This plan of the western suburb of Inverness drawn in 1743 gives insight into the growth of the town.
