Description:
|
This plan of the north pond at what is called 'pennicuik House' has no date, but its title mentions the dates 1739 and 1740, and its notes deal with alterations done in 1745 and 1747. This would put it in the time of the 2nd. Baronet, Sir John Clerk of 1676 to 1755. The notes on the plan have been signed 'JC', presumably 'John Clerk'. They give the acreage of the park and of the pond, in both English and Scots acres, rods, poles and yards, the details of the alterations, of future plans for 3 more ponds, and of the type of fish in one of the ponds. The plan shows the lawns, the ponds and their streams, the geometrically formal paths and the hedges that line them.
