Description:
|
This manuscript Plan of the Forest of Mamlorne was surveyed and drawn by Colin Foster in 1732. It covers an area of Perthshire south of Loch Lyon and was drawn up for adjoining landowners, the Earls of Breadalbane and Culdarse. The map is coloured with relief of the hills shown in black wash, watercourses in blue and settlements in red. An unusual compass rose suggests that Foster was trying to make the map attractive. The map key includes names of topographical features such as rocks, as well as marking the site of a number of shielings or summer grazing settlements. Some of these are marked as vestiges suggesting they were ruinous.
