Description:
|
This sheet shows a plan of the barracks in process of being built at Bernera, Glen Elg. Although there is no signature or date on the plan, the 'Board of Ordnance Register of Plans 1700-1800' lists it as being from Andrews Jelfe, in 1719. There is another contemporary plan of the Bernera barracks by Jelfe at shelfmark MS.1647.Z.03/06a. The original plans for the four Highland barrack forts, Bernera, Kiliwhimen, Inversnaid and Ruthven, were drawn up in 1717 by James Smith, who was the royal chief surveyor. There are two very similar contemporary plans of Bernera by John Henri Bastide, with whom Andrews Jelfe was working, at shelfmarks MS.1647.Z.03/05a and MS.1647.Z.03/05b. The overall view of Glen Elg, drawn by Bastide, at shelfmark MS.1647.Z.03/07a, was partly based on a survey by Jelfe.
