Description:
|
This sketch plan was drawn in 1728 for a legal dispute between the town of Forres and Mackintosh of Blairvie (Blervie) concerning a boundary. The dispute concerned a house built by Blairvie which the town considered an encroachment on their lands. An annotation records that people could remember the town challenging this encroachment during their annual riding of the marches by 'pulling out a pinning (?)'; this could refer to a wall pinning. Other neighbouring lands such as Pluscarden and Tulloch are named, and areas of forest and moss marked. Forres is drawn as a double line of houses either side of the road. Two roads are shown in the disputed area.
