Description:
This map shows the estate of Glendorch, belonging to Alexander Clerk, north of the village of Leadhills in Lanarkshire, and part of the neighbouring estate of the Earl of Hopton. Its marked features and their accompanying notes are concerned with the mining of minerals on the two properties. The features marked and explained are the ridges of the hills that divide the two properties and the state of their mineral deposits, the lines of the veins of lead and copper being workd by Hopton, the streams in the neighbourhood, 'The Highway to Edinburgh', and the town of Leadhills. The crucial point of this map is that area marked '9', in the middle of the ridge of hills that are claimed as Glendorch land, as this is noted as 'Oare discovered by Glendorch'. In conjunction with the area marked '5' which notes 'Where E. Hopton is now almost out of work on ye rich Lead vein called Leverock hall', it indicates that the Glendorch estate and the Earl of Hopton were at odds over the mineral rights, and the map has been drawn up to clarify the boundaries of the two estates.
