Title:
[Map of Halls Commonty 1717]
Creator:
Clerk, John, Sir of Penicuik
Creator Role:
Landowner
Date:
1717
Description:
This map shows part of the Commonty of Halls, to the south of the Blackburn, south of Penicuik, Midlothian, noting the division of some of the property. It is undated on the present recto, but has been assigned the date 1717 from other sources. There is a close copy of this, with more information, on image 00002137. It is also associated with other maps of land division in the area, which seem to have been drawn by Sir John Clerk of Penicuik, the 1st. Baronet (d.1722), who owned some of the lands concerned. These maps are in images 00002133, 00002134 and 00002252, showing the Commonty of Penicuik, and dated 1687, and in images 00002253 and 00002254, showing the march lands between Halls and Auchencorth, dated 1711. The map is drawn in brown ink, but a blue and a grey wash have been used to show the property divisions. It also notes some cottages and local landmarks.
