Description:
|
This sheet is divided into three panels. The smaller top and bottom panels contain the title, year and engineer's name, and the 'Refference' and scale bar. The middle panel, which constitutes the main body of the sheet, contains a plan of Dumbarton Castle in 1709, and the proposed improvements, with details of the rock, the Firth of Clyde and the River Leven. There is a faint draft image in the upper left hand side of the castle plan, which may indicate older works. The upper right hand third of the sheet has numbered grid lines drawn in pencil behind the main drawing. The proposed new works shown are a house for the Governor and Deputy Governor, a wall along the waterside, 'taking In a Parrade which is Mightily wanting in the Castle', a vault for the powder magazine, an additional storehouse, 'a Passage Cutt through the Rock, to mount the Same with more Ease & under cover', and a gate 'under Cover of the Rock', with 'Barriers in front of the Gate.'
