Description:
|
This is a less complete copy of the map at shelfmark MS.1647.Z.02/76a which shows the town of Inverness, and the surrounding country, with part of Loch Ness and the River Ness, and with a detailed vignette of the town in one corner. It also shows the seventeenth century Cromwellian fort, known as Oliver's Fort, but lacks the sailing ships and compass rose of the original. There is a full copy of this map at shelfmark MS.1647.Z.02/76c. The 'Board of Ordnance Register of Plans 1700-1800' lists all three items from 'Mr. Bastide', but does not give the date. The maps can however, be dated between 1719 and 1727, from the words 'H. Camp before marchg: to glen Sheil' in the 'Explanation', which means they have to post date the battle of Glen Shiel, which took place on 10 June, 1719, and from the absence of Fort George, Inverness, which was started on 7 August 1727 (see John Romer's plan at shelfmark MS.1646.Z.02/34a). John Bastide was present at the batle of Glen Shiel and produced a plan of the battle (at shelfmark MS.1648.Z.03/22a).
