Description:
This map of the lands of Culman farm, belonging to the Earls of Stair, near Castle Kennedy, in Wigtownshire, is drawn in brown ink, with the field boundaries variously marked in red and yellow, and the type of crop or nature of the land marked by various patterns. The sheet is oriented with east at the top. The surveyor is named as William McCartney, and the National Archives have dated the map to the 1780's. It may be associated with the agricultural improvements carried out by the 5th Earl of Stair, John Dalrymple, who died in 1789. These improvements are mentioned by Rev. Peter Fergusson, in Sir John Sinclair's 'Statistical Account' (1791-1799), in the chapter on the parish of Inch, within which these lands lie, the volume containing the parish of Inch being published in 1792. The title is contained in a cartouche in the top left hand corner, and in the bottom left hand corner, there is the scale statement and scale bar, and surveyor's signature. Each parcel of land has a code letter, and a table of 'References' in a box in the bottom left hand corner, gives the agricultural use of the piece of land corresponding to each letter. The map also notes the neighbouring properties of Mahar, Mark, Kirkminnoch, and the Freugh lands of the Earl of Dumfries.
