Description:
This sheet shows a plan of Stirling Castle and the town of Stirling. Within the town, it shows the church, hospital, town house, horse, flesh and meal markets, as well as the main market place, with the houses of the Duke of Argyll and the 'late' Lord Mar. The gardens and orchards within the town are detailed, and outside the town the old gardens, now a park are detailed, with the 'place of execution' indicated by a gallows. Within the castle, the 'Great Hall', the 'Palace or Governour's House', the chapel, barracks and appartments, and 'New work and Barracks by Mr. Dury' and 'Battery to Flank the Bridge'. The probable original of this plan, done by John Laye, is at shelfmark MS.1646.Z.02/19a. There are also plans at shelfmarks MS.1646.Z.02/21a, MS.1646.Z.02/21b and MS.1646.Z.02/21c, which, although dated 1740 in their title boxes, appear to be almost exact copies of the 1725 plans, with minor details in the labelling that seem to be copying errors. Two of these are unsigned, and one is signed by August Chamberlaine, 1806. A plan entitled 'A Plan of the Town and Castle of Sterling 1725', in the British Library, KT L.94, also seems to be a version of these plans.
