Creator: 
Skinner, William (b.1700, d.1780)
Creator Role: 
Surveyor
Date: 
1756
Description: 
This sheet of sections accompanies the plan at shelfmark MS.1646.Z.02/51a, which shows the state of the work at Fort George, Ardersier, by 30 September 1756. While William Skinner was the chief engineer for this whole project, the provenance of both these particular unsigned sheets remains uncertain. According to a note pencilled on the accompanying plan at a later date, it was 'Recd of Mr Bogdani 23 May 1763', but whether that particular sheet originally accompanied this one, and whether these sheets are originals or copies, is also unclear. Neither the plan nor these sections is listed in the 'Board of Ordnance Register of Plans 1700-1800', or the War Office Schedule, but only in the National Library of Scotland Accession Inventory.
