Description:
It is part of a series of 7 similar sketches and reports, the others being Arbroath, Dunbar, Aberdeen, Peterhead, Banff and Campbeltown, (in images 00003194, 00003195-3196, 00003198, 00003199, 00003200 and 00003202-3203). The Dunbar report is contained in a letter to Lord Adam Gordon, dated 'Edinburg June 1st 1795', which is signed 'Your Lordships Very obedient H. Servant W.G. Lt. R. Engrs', and has a pencil note 'William Gravatt' added at a later date. The Campbeltown plan and report are uncoloured, and a note with them indicates that they are earlier drafts of those sent to Lord Adam Gordon. There is a plan of the batteries at Greenock (image 00003201) which may also be part of the series, but has no report with it.
