Description:
|
This sketch map of the grounds and house at Mavisbank, Loanhead, Midlothian, in 1697, is signed by its owner, Sir John Clerk of Penicuik, the first Baronet (d. 1722), as having been drawn by himself on 1 February. It includes a vignette of the village of Loanhead, showing two terraces of one storey houses, and a small group of houses to one side, labelled 'lonhead town'. It also has a building labelled 'mavis bank house', which is the predecessor of the William Adam building commissioned by the second Baronet, Sir John Clerk (1686-1755), and built in 1723. There are notes in the corner in Sir John Clerk's hand describing distances between points around the house, marked by letters on the map. There is also a vignette of three men in the woods shooting birds.
