Description: 
This is the text note that accompanies the map in image 00003162. This is a copy done between 1748 and 1749 in the Tower of London Drawing Room. There is a note in this text which helps date the originals of this and its accompanying map. The text mentions the clans' continuing obedience to the 1725 Disarming Act, so that if the original map was drawn up at the same time as the original of this, they would both have to be dated to several years post-1725. However, the map does not mark any of the battles of 1745-1746 Stuart Rising, which seems to indicate that the original was drawn up prior to that date.
