Description:
|
This is a copy of William Horneck's map at shelfmark MS.1647.Z.03/02a, which shows the fortifications of the armies of James Francis Stuart, who took the town of Perth early in the 1715 rising, and held it until the end. It also shows the seventeenth century Cromwellian citadel. Capt. Horneck, a Board of Ordnance engineer in Louis Petit's team, drew them after the town was recaptured by the government.
