The statement under the title gives the date of the actual survey by David Dowie as 31 July 1735. However, in the bottom right hand corner, there are three more statements relating to the legal process of swearing to the authenticity of the map, and to later additions. 3d. Jany. 1736 In presence of The Lord Roystoun, Compeared David Dowie Land Surveyor, who being solemnly sworn examined & Interrogate, Depones, That this Map was made out by him to the best of his Skill & Knowledge, according to the rules of Art, without Fead or Favour to either Partie, & this is the truth as he shall answer to God.
