Description:
|
This plan is part of the series of plans drawn up by the architect Andrews Jelfe, while strengthening and extending Edinburgh Castle in 1719. Jelfe was responsible for major reconstruction of many of the fortifications in Scotland in the year 1719, including, Dumbarton, Stirling and Fort William. He was also one of the people responsible for the building of the four Highland forts at Bernera, Inversnaid, Kiliwhimen and Ruthven, at this period. This plan and one of its companions (image 00002613), and the two copies on images 00002612 and 00002614, have been signed by Jelfe, although he may not have actually drawn them. Two of the plans, one of the copies, and an unsigned plan from this set, on image 00002670, were drawn and annotated by the same person, but the copy on image 00002612 has different handwriting. A set of five plans relating to these were drawn for Jelfe by Thomas Moore (who signed them), just prior to these, and are on images 00002654-2658. The plan shows three components of building work proposed for the church porch at Edinburgh Castle, including the new steps.
