This sheet shows the seventeenth Cromwellian citadel at Perth, (at the time of the building of the citadel, Perth was called St. Johnston's), shortly after it had been pressed into use by the armies of Prince Charles Edward Stuart. It was drawn by a government army surveyor in February 1746, at which time the Jacobites armies were retreating towards Culloden. Lieutenant Jasper Leigh Jones also drew a map of the Battle of Culloden (at shelfmark MS.1648.Z.03/30b).
