Description
This map shows part of the Commonty of Halls, to the south of the Blackburn, south of Penicuik, Midlothian, noting the division of some of the property. It is undated on the present recto, but has been assigned the date 1717 from other sources. There is a close copy of this, with more information, on image 00002137. It is also associated with other maps of land division in the area, which seem to have been drawn by Sir John Clerk of Penicuik, the 1st. Baronet (d.1722), who owned some of the lands concerned. These maps are in images 00002133, 00002134 and 00002252, showing the Commonty of Penicuik, and dated 1687, and in images 00002253 and 00002254, showing the march lands between Halls and Auchencorth, dated 1711. The map is drawn in brown ink, but a blue and a grey wash have been used to show the property divisions. It also notes some cottages and local landmarks.

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.

Description
This map was sketched by the 'sone' of Sir John Clerk, the first baronet of Penicuik (d. 1722), in support of Sir John's claims in the dispute with his neighbour, Sir David Forbes of Newhall, over the boundaries of their respective lands. The contention on the map seems to be that the correct boundary is 'the syke' marked 'ee', 'which by the countrey people has been understood to be the march', and that the line marked 'dd', 'the land which Sr d f would mark the march between his lands and brunstoun', is not correct. Sir John's authority for the coal syke being the correct boundary is a document from 1518, which records in meticulous detail the walking of the marches in that year, which supposedly settled the boundaries. In the map in image 00002255, dated a month later, on 10 September 1713, part of the 1518 document is quoted exactly, to support the claim. The cause of the dispute is presumably the seam of coal (stated to be '6 foot thick' on two later maps, dated 1717) which runs across both Sir David Forbes' and Sir John Clerk's properties, and which Sir David has started to mine. Taking the line 'dd' as the boundary gives Sir David more access to the coal. Sir John had had other disputes with neighbours as to the ownership of, or access to coal seams (see map on image 00002135). This map shows the two farms at Nine Mile Burn, the 'mercat road' to Edinburgh, the Monksburn running into the North Esk, Moorfield House and its loch (now Marfield House and farm), and the Kow Craig. The two 1717 maps concerning this dispute are in images 00001750 and 00002242.

Description
This map was apparently drawn a month after the sketch map in image 00002145, which had been done by the 'sone' of Sir John Clerk, first baronet of Penicuik (d.1722), to support Sir John's claims in the dispute he was having with his neighbour, Sir David Forbes of Newhall, over the boundary lines of the two properties. This map seems to have been drawn up by 'on of [John Adam's] scolar', presumably working from the sketch map, but the extensive notation on this is written by Sir John Clerk himself. There is an 'abstract', transcribed in the original Latin, of part of the document from 1518, which records in meticulous detail the walking of the marches in that year, which supposedly settled the boundaries. Sir John emphasises the age of the document and thus of the agreed boundaries, which was legally important. There are also extensive notes relating to letters on the map, asserting that the boundary as laid down in the 1518 document, runs up 'ye Coalsyke or Coalcleugh', and not further to the north east, as asserted by 'Sr D'. Apparently Sir David had made two claims over the boundaries - 'at first Sr David cravd ye line BC to be ye march qch being refusd he cravd H.C. to be ye marches'. The second claim giving him even more Clerk land than the first, Sir John notes ' he is now craving ten times more yn he did at first if not twentie times'. The cause of the dispute is presumably the seam of coal (stated to be '6 foot thick' on two later maps) which runs across both Sir David's and Sir John's properties, and which the map in image 00002145 shows that Sir David has started to mine. If his boundary lines are accepted, he gains more of the seam. Sir John Clerk had had other disputes with neighbours as to the ownership of, or access to coal seams (see map on image 00002135). This map shows the two farms at Nine Mile Burn, 'ye kings high way' to Edinburgh, the Monksburn running into the North Esk, Newhall House, Moorfield House and its loch (now Marfield House and farm), the Kow Craig, and the vital Coalcleugh (or Coalsyke). The two later maps concerning this dispute are dated 1717, and are in images 00001750 and 00002242.

Description
This map is drawn to scale in brown ink, and shows the boundary lines between the properties of Mosshouses and Halls and Blair Bog, between Halls and Auchencorth, between Auchencorth and Blair Bog, and between Auchencorth and Grange, near Penicuik, Midlothian. It has extensive notation on the owners of the properties and the men who rode the marches to verify the boundaries on 22 January 1711. It was probably drawn by Sir John Clerk of Penicuik, the 1st. Baronet (d. 1722). There is a draft of part of this map in image 00002477, which was drawn on 18 and 19 January 1711, probably also by Sir John Clerk, and detailed the boundaries between the Mosshouses and Halls and Blair Bog, and Auchincorth and Grange properties. It is also associated with 00002133, 00002134 and 00002252, showing Penicuik Commonty, dated 1687, and 00002249 showing Halls Commonty, dated 1717

Description
This map is a more detailed version of the one in image 00001750, prepared in support of the claims of Sir John Clerk, the first baronet of Penicuik (d. 1722), in his boundary dispute with his neighbours, the Forbes of Newhall. Originally, the dispute was with Sir David Forbes of Newhall, and there are two earlier maps from 1713 in images 00002145 and 0002255. By this time, Sir David Forbes has died, and the Newhall properties have come into the possession of John Forbes, of Culloden, his nephew. The cause of the dispute is the seam of coal '6 foot thick', which runs across both the Newhall-Marfield and the Penicuik-Brunstane properties, and which the map in image 00002145 shows that Sir David had started to mine, in 1713, at which time he had claimed that the march line ran further north-east than Sir John Clerk thought, giving Sir David access to more coal. This map is undated, but notes on it record that the original legal document setting out the march lines, is dated 5 October 1518, 'qch come 5 October 1718 is 200 years since', so this map must be prior to October 1718. In addition, the map in image 00001750, which this one adds to and corrects, is dated April 1717, with notes up to March 1718. This seems to put this map somewhere around April to September 1718. It uses different colours of shading to show the properties of Walstone, Brunstane and Auchencorth, which belonged to Clerk, and Newhall and Marfield, which belonged to the Forbes. However, Sir John seems to have abandoned his original contention that the march line could be detrmined from the 'Coalcleugh or Coalsyke', as that feature is now only labelled 'cleugh', and Sir John is concentrating on a bend in the Monks Burn (Mucksburn) which he calls 'ane litle cruik', claiming that the march line which ends there is the 'wrong marches', the 'Right marches' ending further down the burn, and giving hime more land. The basis of Sir John's claim depends on the reading of a document of 1518, which recorded in meticulous detail the walking of the marches between these two properties, on 7 October of that year. That document is transcribed on this map, in the original Latin, with an additional note in English to the effect that the original officials who laid down the boundary stones, had 'appoint never to be altered'. Sir John Clerk had had other disputes with neighbours as to the ownership of, or access to coal seams (see map on image 00002135)

Description
This plan, drawn in brown ink, (probably by Sir John Clerk of Penicuik, the 1st. baronet, who died in 1722), relates to a dispute between Sir John and the 'Laird of Carnwath', his neighbour, over the sinking of shafts to mine coal near Bilston Burn, Loanhead, Midlothian. At the top of the plan is a diagram of three smaller seams of 3 feet and 6 feet thickness, and the shafts sunk into them by both Sir John Clerk and by the 'Laird of Carnwath'. At the bottom of the sheet is a diagram of the 'great seam' of 15 feet, with a drawing of Dryden Tower beside it, which helps in locating the area of disputed land. An extensive note at the bottom of the sheet, probably in Sir John Clerk's handwriting, claims that the 'libertie' to sink shafts in the disputed land belongs only to the proprietor of Penicuik, but that Carnwath has sunk a shaft 'to gain ye great seam'.

Detail of a map of Peebles published by the surveyor William Edgar in 1741. The 'cartouche' (a decorative framed title), common on early maps, dedicates the map to Charles, Earl of Traquair, a major landowner in the Peebles area. Traquair house has been drawn as a mansion with two flanking wings. In common with many Scottish mansions, during the 17th century Traquair had been extended from a defensive tower house to a 4-storied mansion with two service wings flanking a front courtyard added. Landowners like the Earl of Traquair were among the most well-educated and sufficiently rich people who collected maps in the 17th and 18th century.

Description
This map of Mid-Lothian was originally surveyed by John Adair but was not published until after his death in 1718. The dedication to Robert Dundas MP suggests a date of about 1735 as Dundas became Lord Arniston in 1737. The coastal details, such as the rocks in the Firth of Forth or the beacon off Leith, are a reminder that Adair also produced maps of the sea coast of Scotland. Leith harbour is drawn with a sheltering wall and enclosed docks. Edinburgh is shown by a bird's eye view of houses, the castle and Holyrood palace, but smaller towns such as Dalkeith are shown in plan only. As maps became more sophisticated the pictorial symbols of the medieval maps were gradually replaced by geometric symbols.

This printed map of West Lothian was engraved by Richard Cooper in Edinburgh in the early 18th century. It is copied from a survey by John Adair (c.1660 - 1718). An early 20th century bookseller's valuation is attached. The map is dedicated to John, Earl of Stair, Lieutenant General and a Privy Councillor. The title cartouche is ornate and flanked by classical mythological figures. Maps of this type were produced for educated patrons who would understand the allusions. Topographical features, roads and settlements are shown. A number of mansions are drawn with enclosed parks. These give an important indication of the rate of enclosure at the period but lack detail.
