Description:
|
The map is a rough sketch in brown ink of the division of the lands in the Commonty of Pencuik. It accompanies the map shown in image 00002252, which was drawn and annotated by the same person on 18 April 1687. Notes on the map record the acquisition of land 21 and 22 April 1687, and again on 21 January 1688. Unfortunately, while it mentions that the lands of Auchencorth and Dykeneuk were 'gott of ye Shaws' in 1687, and the later division took place between 'Lawhead & me', it does not indicate who 'me' is, although it was probably Sir John Clerk, the 1st. Baronet (d.1722) of Penicuik, and the map was probably drawn by him It covers part of the modern Auchencorth Moss, and marks Blackburn, Auchencorth Farm, Dykeneuk Farm, Grange Ford, the Gowk Stone and various other local features. It is also associated with 00002253 and 00002477, showing the marches between Halls and Auchencorth, dated 1711, and 00002249 showing Halls Commonty, dated 1717.
