[Crawfordjohn, Glendorch Estate, Lanarkshire, Leadhills, Scotland]
Description
This map shows the estate of Glendorch, belonging to Alexander Clerk, north of the village of Leadhills in Lanarkshire, and part of the neighbouring estate of the Earl of Hopton. Its marked features and their accompanying notes are concerned with the mining of minerals on the two properties. The features marked and explained are the ridges of the hills that divide the two properties and the state of their mineral deposits, the lines of the veins of lead and copper being workd by Hopton, the streams in the neighbourhood, 'The Highway to Edinburgh', and the town of Leadhills. The crucial point of this map is that area marked '9', in the middle of the ridge of hills that are claimed as Glendorch land, as this is noted as 'Oare discovered by Glendorch'. In conjunction with the area marked '5' which notes 'Where E. Hopton is now almost out of work on ye rich Lead vein called Leverock hall', it indicates that the Glendorch estate and the Earl of Hopton were at odds over the mineral rights, and the map has been drawn up to clarify the boundaries of the two estates.

[Inverness, Inverness-shire, Muirtown, Ness River, Scotland]
Description
This plan of the western suburb of Inverness drawn in 1743 gives insight into the growth of the town. A view of Inverness drawn by James Gordon in 1650 shows a single row of houses here. Petite's map of 1718 shows growth beginning. Recent archaeological research suggests that while there may have been some settlement on the west bank of the Ness after the bridge was built in the 13th century, the main development of the suburb took place from the mid 18th century. This plan gives details of each croft, marking barns, garden ground and even a kiln. One field is described as 'the field Fraser was enclosing when he was stopt', a reminder that the 18th century was the period of land enclosure throughout Scotland.

Description
This sketch plan, dated to 1740, shows properties in North Berwick including a distillery belonging to Robert Swinton and a house and stable belonging to Captain Dalrymple. The miller's cellars and granary with stair are also drawn. Associated pprcesses include details concerning the drawing of the plan with measurements and details of the property and neighbouring plots. There are also notes by Robert Swinton, the distillery owner, disputing the plan's accuracy. The plan had been drawn originally in pale lines (pencil?) with notes of ownership, measurements etc. Much of the plan was then redrawn in ink, the ink clearly overlying the paler lines. Some parts remain un-inked.

[Castle Kennedy, Culmain, Freugh, Inch, Kirkminnoch, Mahar, Mark, Scotland, Wigtownshire]
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.

Description
Plan of the whole of Edinburgh Castle, with sections coloured red and yellow, and cliffs shown with some realism in black and grey. This plan was apparently copied by Thomas Day in the Tower of London Drawing Room, in 1752. Another unsigned copy at shelfmark MS.1645.Z.02/08a is attributed to Stephen Fane by the original National Library of Scotland accession records. Fane also worked in the Drawing Room at the same time.

Description
This manuscript map depicts the area around Killiwhymen (renamed Fort Augustus in 1727) as it was in 1724-25, and was presented to Lieutenant-General George Wade by Roger Debize. It shows the southern edge of Loch Ness and part of the path of the Rivers Oich (Hoich) and Tarff, as well as the barracks and other landmarks. Lieutenant-General George Wade (1673-1748) was appointed Commander-in-Chief in Scotland in 1725, and thereafter embarked on an ambitious programme of road, bridge and fortification building until 1740. This map was presumably prepared to help plan the construction programme in the strategically important Killiwhymen area.

Description
This is a 1769 copy of a 1740 original drawing of the elevation and section of the house for the Governor, storekeeper and Master Gunner at Edinburgh Castle. This copy was done in the Tower of London Drawing Room, by John Deleny. The original was probably done by Dugal Campbell, and may have accompanied a now missing 1740 plan, and would be part of the set of plans submitted to the Board of Ordnance by Dugal Campbell, during his work on Edinburgh Castle in the 1740's. Other plans in this set are at shelfmark MS.1645.Z.02/05b (copy at shelfmark MS.1645.Z.02/05c), and shelfmark MS.1645.Z.02/04a (copies at shelfmark MS.1645.Z.02/04b and shelfmark MS.1645.Z.02/04c).

Description
This is a copy of a plan by Dugal Campbell, which would probably be fifth in a set of six plans that he produced for the upgrading of Fort William between 1744 and 1746. It shows the completion of much of the work mentioned in the previous plans, with the exceptions of the main gate, which has not yet been started (although plans had been drawn up, see shelfmark MS.1646.Z.02/27a and shelfmark MS.1646.Z.02/27b), and the additional barracks (shelfmark MS.1646.Z.02/30a, with a copy at shelfmark MS.1646.Z.02/30b), which were a later proposal. The officers' barracks (shelfmark MS.1646.Z.02/28b) has one storey completed. The other plans in the set are soldiers' barracks, the bakehouse and proposals for a ravelin gate and the main gate at shelfmark MS.1646.Z.02/28a, and the Governor's house at shelfmark MS.1646.Z.02/28c. Unfortunately, none of Dugal Campbell's originals of this have been located. This is a copy done by John Deleny of the Tower of London Drawing Room, on 17 February, 1769. There is another copy done by him on 16 January 1769 at shelfmark MS.1646.Z.02/29b, and a copy at shelfmark MS.1646.Z.02/29a, which may have been done by Charles Tarrant between 1750 and 1755, when he was still working in the Tower of London Drawing Room.

Description
This sheet is in two parts. The bottom half shows the plan of the front entrance to the fort, and the top half shows the elevations and sections of the ravelin gate which had been completed in 1744, and the improvements to the main gate proposed for 1745. This would put it third in the sequence of six plans drawn up by Dugal Campbell between 1744 and 1746, detailing the upgrading of the fort. It is however, not Dugal Campbell's original, which seems to have been lost, but John Deleny's copy done in the Tower of London Drawing Room in 1769.

Loch Lyon,Mamlorn,Perthshire,Scotland
Description
This detail from the 'Map of the Forrest of Mamlorne' shows a series of small named settlements some of which are described as shielings. shielings were settlements used in the summer for grazing cattle and sheep on the hill land away from the main settlement. Most of the Mamlorne shielings are situated alongside Loch Lyon or the burns draining into it. Water was essential both for the animals to drink and for the making of butter and cheese with the summer flush of milk. Some shielings were colonized as permanent settlements, but few of these survived the Clearances. The 1867 Ordnance Survey of Perthshire shows only one of the settlements on the 1735 map, Loubeskernich (Lubhrasgarnich) at the eastern end of Loch Lyon.

Description
This is an engraving by Richard Cooper of 'A map of the forrest of Mamlorne' copied from an original survey drawing by David Dow(n)ie. As the map had been drawn in connection with a land dispute, there is a note affirming that the engraving had been carefully revised by Dow(n)ie. The map covers an area of hill land in Perthshire, depicting the relief of the hills and the lines of the watercourses quite accurately. A number of small settlements are named. Some are specifically marked as shielings or summer grazing. Mamlorn(e) had been a royal hunting forest. It is first mentioned in the Exchequer Rolls in 1456 when James II declared that all grazing and other farming on the land was to cease and the land was to be left waste to preserve the hunting.
