Title:
Plan of the fort barrack Bernera in Glen Elg [1719] [copy]

Bastide, John Henri (active 1718-1759)
Creator Role:
Surveyor
Date:
1719
Description:
This appears to be an initial draft of the map at shelfmark MS.1647.Z.03/06b. This is less complete, lacking the 'Explanation' and the year, and has Kyle Rhea incorrectly labelled as 'Loch Aissh' [Loch Alsh], which has been scored out in pencil at a later date and 'The Kyle' added. The map at shelfmark MS.1647.Z.03/06b is correctly labelled. There is another correct copy at shelfmark MS.1647.Z.03/06c, which is probably a later production.
