Description: 
This map is undated and unsigned, but it covers more or less the same area as the map in image 00002178, and was drawn by the same draughtsman, which would date it to about 1675. It shows land in the parish of Mertoun, Berwickshire, in the neighbourhood of the properties of Bemersyde, Mertoun Whitehouse Farm, Third Farm and Brotherstone Farm. It notes which areas belong to which owner. The mill dam for the Mertoun mill, and the mill itself are indicated, as well as the two lochs of Mertoun and Whitrig, and the path down to Mertoun from Constable meadow. It notes that Mertoun Loch is ' now contraverted'.
