Description
This is an engraving by Richard Cooper from an original survey drawing by David Dowie. The map was drawn in connection with a land dispute. 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. Mamlorne 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.

Description
This manuscript map of part of Killean and Kilchenzie parish, Argyll, titled 'A map of the grounds in dispute betwixt his grace the Duke of Argyll and Greenwich and John McDonald of Larggie' was surveyed and drawn by David Dowie. The map is undated but was possibly drawn in about 1735 when Dowie was actively surveying other areas in Scotland such as the Forest of Mamlorn(e) in Perthshire. It shows the disputed land as a coloured zone, the boundary being identified by a number of cairns and obvious rocks such as a 'white stone'. The names of neighbouring landowners are noted.

Description
This plan entitled 'Plan of the Forest of Mamlorn' was surveyed by David Dowie in 1735. It is drawn in ink with a very faint grey wash to show relief on the hills and pale brown for rivers. It covers an area in Breadalbane, Perthshire, south of Loch Lyon. It appears to have been drawn up for the Lords of Council and Session in order to examine the boundary between two landowners. It may be based on a 1732 survey by Colin Foster. A marginal note dated 1736 and signed by Dowie explains he has added a boundary along the ridge of the hills. A further note dating to 1737, written in a different hand, and signed Dalrymple, confirms that this was the map drawn up for this dispute.

[Aberdeenshire, Auchterless, Scotland, Templand, Ythan River]
Description
This map of the estate of Templand is roughly drawn in brown ink, with graphite shading. The lands of Templand lay between the River Ythan and the lands of Hatton House, owned by the Duff family, outside Kirkton of Auchterless. It marks the 'Ython Water', 'Icans cairn' and the Minister's land. It also marks four farm cottages, with notes beside them that may be the names of the inhabitants - 'Cushok water murray gairns'. At the top of the map is the note 'Mr. Duffs land'. There are annotations on the condition of specific areas of ground, and two roads are noted.

[Bellie, Morayshire, Scotland, Spey River]
Description
This coloured manuscript plan, drawn in 1734 or soon after, shows a section of the river Spey, Morayshire, between Dipple and Ordiequish. Associated papers relate to a bulwark and possible repairs to it. This part of the Spey from near Fochabers towards the sea has a tendency to deposit shingle banks and form meanders. This plan shows one area of deposition, with a gravel bank marked that had been deposited in 1734. The landowner, the Duke of Gordon, had built a fence or bulwark across one such weak point of the bank to regulate the river. Two breeches of the bank near the bulwark suggest that problems continued.

Description
This anonymous mid-18th century sketch map shows the barony of Auchindown (Auchendoun) in Banffshire in reference to a march dispute between the Dukes of Gordon and Braco. Two areas of contested lands are shown with the boundary marches. Auchindown castle is a 15th century tower house with a 16th century courtyard wall. It was abandoned at some point in the 17th century. By 1725 the Duke of Gordon allowed William Duke of Braco to take stone for use elsewhere. Several other details of the area are drawn including two watermills sketched with vertical wheels of the type used from the medieval period until the later 18th century. Several wells are also shown, emphasizing the importance of water.

[Duffus, Moray, Scotland, Spynie]
Description
This anonymous sketch plan of land near Duffus, Morayshire, was drawn in or shortly after 1740. It shows an area extending inland from the sea to Spindle Muir. Reclamation of peat lands was an important part of 18th century land improvements. Two water mills are marked on the inlet to the loch draining into the Black Moss. Mills were a monopoly of landowners. Areas of muir are shown with the names of proprietors of these and the surrounding lands. A marginal note describes Burghhead as a fishtown owned by Mr Dunbar. Burghhead, which had been a large Pictish fort, is shown on William Roy's map in the later 18th century as a small settlement and fields beside the fort remain.

Description
Although the original of this plan was probably drawn up by Theodore Dury, this is not his work, as it contains a lengthy criticism of his original design, and details of the 'improvements' done by Talbot Edwards, who was the Second Engineer. The handwriting is also not that of Theodre Dury. Dury's original plan is probably the one at shelfmark MS.1646.Z.02/16b, on which he had ammended his first plan for Stirling (shelfmark MS.1646.Z.02/16a) with additional fortifications to the nether bailey and main entrance. Those improvements had obviously not satisfied the critic who had added the text to this plan, but whether that critic was actually Talbot Edwards himself or not, is not clear. Dury and Edwards had also come into conflict over the plans for Edinburgh castle (q.v.) There is a copy of this plan, done by John Beaumont, in the Tower of London Drawing Room, in 1795, at shelfmark MS.1646.Z.02/23b, and an unsigned copy at shelfmark MS.1646.Z.02/23c. The sheet has three panels, of which the middle panel is blank, the right hand side panel contains the plan of the whole of Stirling Castle, with some of the surrounding country, and the left hand side panel contains a 'Profile of 'Elphinstons Tower and French Spur'.

This sheet is a plan of Stirling Castle and the town of Stirling. Within the town, it shows the church, hospital, town house, horse, flesh and meal markets, as well as the main market place, with the houses of the Duke of Argyll and the 'late' Lord Mar. The gardens and orchards within the town are detailed, and outside the town the old gardens, now a park are detailed, with the 'place of execution' indicated by a gallows. Within the castle, the 'Great Hall', the 'Palace or Governour's House', the chapel, barracks and appartments, and 'New work and Barracks by Mr. Dury' and 'Battery to Flank the Bridge'. There is an unsigned copy of this plan at shelfmark MS.1646.Z.02/19b. There are also plans at shelfmarks MS.1646.Z.02/21a, MS.1646.Z.02/21b and MS.1646.Z.02/21c, which, although dated 1740 in their title boxes, appear to be almost exact copies of the 1725 plans, with minor details in the labelling that seem to be copying errors. Two of these are unsigned, and one is signed by August Chamberlaine, 1806. A plan entitled 'A Plan of the Town and Castle of Sterling 1725', in the British Library, KT L.94, also seems to be a version of these plans.
