Description:
This map is drawn in brown ink, with a grey wash used for the main river, and for the outlines of the hills. It is torn at both sides, with some pieces missing from the right hand side. The map shows the waterways on and around the lands of Newbigging House (which became Old Penicuik House, after the building of the Penicuik House designed by William Adam, in 1761), with the hills of their catchment area. It is probably associated with the two maps of Newbigging House from 1687, shown on images 00002330 and 00002576. This would put it in the era of the first Baronet, Sir John Clerk of Penicuik, who died in 1722, and whose father had first bought the barony in 1646. Although the boundaries of the fields and the buildings are shown, it does not show any agricultural information or any details of the buildings, other than the vignettes of Ravensneuk Farm at the top of the sheet, and Ravens Hall at the right hand side, which are presumably there to indicate the boundaries of the Newbigging House lands. There is also a sketch of an unnamed rudimentary structure on the hill to the north, where the other two maps show a small structure labelled 'Knights la', and a sketch of an unnamed building on the stream to the south of the house area. It incorrectly labels the North Esk river as 'South Esk', but correctly labels the East Burn, 'Branch' [of the East Burn] and Hurly Burn. A 'W' at the far left hand side, beside the vignette of Ravens Hall, indicates where the West Burn was marked, before that part of the map was torn off. A well called 'Scobie well' is clearly labelled', on another burn called 'Curswell'. It also shows the 'upper pond'. On the right hand side of the sheet, the word 'Impe:' [or 'Jmpe:'?] is written in brown ink.
