Plan of the whole of Edinburgh Castle, with sections coloured red and yellow, and cliffs shown with some realism in black and grey. This plan was apparently copied by Thomas Day in the Tower of London Drawing Room, in 1752. Another unsigned copy at shelfmark MS.1645.Z.02/08a is attributed to Stephen Fane by the original National Library of Scotland accession records. Fane also worked in the Drawing Room at the same time.
