Description:
|
This plan of Netherurd Common, Kirkurd, Peeblesshire, was drawn in 1736 for a dispute between Francis Duke of Buccleuch and James Geddes of Kirkurd concerning lands to be divided. Associated processes (not scanned) give details and valuations of the land. The Common and several hills are shown as is the road to Edinburgh. The division of common lands as part of land enclosure and improvement was a common cause of disputes in the 18th century. Netherurd is drawn as a group of cottar houses on one side of the burn and two substantial buildings opposite among trees. Other settlements include farms at Lochard and Mount and a single storey cottage drawn in elevation at Brianland.
