This is a 1769 copy of a 1740 original drawing of the elevation and section of the house for the Governor, storekeeper and Master Gunner at Edinburgh Castle. This copy was done in the Tower of London Drawing Room, by John Deleny. The original was probably done by Dugal Campbell, and may have accompanied a now missing 1740 plan, and would be part of the set of plans submitted to the Board of Ordnance by Dugal Campbell, during his work on Edinburgh Castle in the 1740's. Other plans in this set are at shelfmark MS.1645.Z.02/05b (copy at shelfmark MS.1645.Z.02/05c), and shelfmark MS.1645.Z.02/04a (copies at shelfmark MS.1645.Z.02/04b and shelfmark MS.1645.Z.02/04c).
