Description
This sheet shows a detailed plan of Stirling Castle, which is undated, but has been signed by Theodore Dury. It probably dates to about 1708, or shortly thereafter, as Theodore Dury began substantial work on Stirling Castle, Edinburgh Castle and Fort William on 1 July, 1708 (see reference below). There is a copy of this, with additions detailing fortifications to the main entrance and nether bailey, at shelfmark MS.1646.Z.02/16b, probably also done by Dury at the same time, and a related plan developing from this at shelfmark MS.1646.Z.02/23a (copies at MS.1646.Z.02/23b and MS.1646.Z.02/23c).

Description
This French map of Scotland was printed in 1661 by Pierre Du Val, d'Abbeville (1619-1683). Pierre Du Val was a nephew and pupil of Nicholas Sanson, one of the greatest French cartographers. The map making industry was late in developing in France but flourished during the centralised government of King Louis XIV (1638-1715). The stability and prosperity of Louis' reign encouraged patronage of the arts including the production of books and maps. Main settlements, rivers, mountains and some wooded areas are shown by formal symbols but the map as a whole is fairly plain and lacks marginal decoration. The title cartouche is also a fairly simple scroll with the scale unusually placed inside it.

Description
This map of Stirlingshire, printed by the Rev. William Nimmo in 1777, has marginal drawings of several antiquities, and insets showing the layouts of the battles of Bannockburn in 1314 and Falkirk in 1298. Battle sites are also marked on the map. At Bannockburn, Robert Bruce defeated the larger English army of Edward II by careful use of the terrain. As the plan shows, Bruce placed his forces on the high ground so that the English army had to cross boggy ground and the burn. The interest in military sites is also shown by the drawing of the Antoinine wall (see full image #00001683), built between the Forth and Clyde by the Romans in the 2nd century AD. The associated Roman road north, the Gask Way, is also marked.

Description
This is part of the same book of plans as images 00002375-2376, and 00002378-2379. They were drawn by Mar himself, who had extensive plans for remodelling his house and estate. He spent the last years of his exile in France, after the failure of the 1715 Stuart Rising, drawing up these plans. It shows two different designs for the interior of the house behind one of the balconies facing the river, and a design for the interior behind another balcony, both with marble columns. One of the designs for the river-facing balcony has decorative ironwork railings and one does not. Both designs for the river-facing balcony show sailing ships on the river, and the third design shows an urn, presumably on the balcony itself. There is a handwritten note on the sheet, which reads 'Mr. Bourchet Sculptur at Antwerpe computed one of these colomns of the marble of Dinan wtout Base or capitale, deliverd at Antwerpe to cost thertien gurnias and a half'. Another note, perhaps added later, reads 'Vaults to be Sunk in the Rock for Cellers'.

Description
This plan shows a proposed waggon way running between Coalhill and Alloa shore. It was built in 1768, but Mar did not live to witness it. Waggon roads were built at several collieries in the 18th century. Waggons ran by gravity on wooden rails from the colliery to the shore. They were pulled back uphill by horses. The bridge near Coalhill is detailed on another plan. The notes below the title judge that the scheme is practical as it would not involve cutting through much high ground. The terminal at the shore beside Mr Freebairn's factory is at a point where ships could be loaded safely.

Description
This map shows the lands and house of John Erskine, Earl of Mar. It is part of a book of plans, and was drawn by Mar himself, who had extensive plans for remodelling not only his house and estate, but also the town of Alloa. He spent the last years of his exile in France, after the failure of the 1715 Stuart Rising, drawing up these plans. The 'Explanation' in the top left hand corner indicates not only the usual features of the estate such as 'the Hous', 'Kitchin & Fruit Garden' and 'Orchard', they also list the 'walks' and their vistas in detail, such as 'walks pointing on Elphington house, 2 milles distance', 'walk pointing on Stirling Bridge 4 milles distance', 'walk on Alloa, Ferry', 'walk, on Carnock 3 mills distance', 'visto, on Stirling Castle & Clackmanan house'. These features were becoming very important to landowners in the eighteenth century. It also shows the town of Alloa, with its harbour 'Capable to receive a Shipe of 300 Tons', the village of Parkmill, and the 'Coalpitt & waterwork of Clackmanan'. There are vignettes of sailing ships on the river and in the harbour. Notations on the map record plans to buy land from neighbouring estates and the agricultural use of land. Notes in the 'Explanation' box and notes on the map record hydro-engineering features such as 'A wett & Dry Dock for Ships wt. two Slouses One for the fresh water & the other for the Salt', the water being drained from the coalmine, 'Hilton loch, to be a reservour for water', and more usual features as 'Ponds of running water for ffowl & ffish', and the mill dams. Also noted are old and new roads and streets, and 'the Road to Clackmanan & Edenbrugh'. Two other notes record 'A Bolwinggreen surrounded on three sides wt. woodwork' and 'To be sheep pature and goff field'.

Description
This map showing the properties in and around the town of Auchencrow, in Berwickshire, is sketched in brown ink, and heavily annotated. It has been torn down the middle and at the sides, so that some text is missing. It also marks adjoining properties held by Wedderburn, Swansfield, West Reston and Greenhead. Along the main street of the town, each property is numbered and labelled with the names of either the landowner, or the tenant/lessee. Outside the town, some of the fields are also given numbers, some have letters, and some have both. The whole is explained in the copious 'References to the Sketch of the Easter Division of Auchincrow Territory' in the top right hand side of the sheet, and in 'References to the Sketch of the Wester Division of Auchincrow Territory' on the bottom left hand side. The main landholder seems to have been 'Wedderburn', although it is not clear whether this is the name of a family, or of another settlement. Many of the properties in the town are 'Held off Weddn', and there is a note that 'Weddn yards' are 'now part of Auchincrow Mains Farme Lett to mr Logan'. Even the landowners Margaret Fair, of Fairlaw, George Hood, of Sunnyside and William Bogue, of Greenburn, seem to have held some of their property 'off Weddn'. It is interesting to note that William Bogue is twice referred to as 'now in America'. The map is undated but has been assigned at least to the 18th century. In the entry for the parish of Coldingham in Sir John Sinclair's 'Statistical Account' (1791 to 1799), we find 'The Crown is patron', followed by the information that very few of the landowners live in the parish any longer, and many have sold their properties 'within these 40 years', which seems to relate to the situation noted on this map. Of Auchencrow itself, 'there were 3 considerable villages besides the town of Coldingham, viz. Renton, Auchencraw, and the 2 Prestons; but since that, the heritors have built good farmsteadings upon the most centrical parts of their outfields. Hence ... Auchencraw and West Preston have dwindled to less than half of what they were before that period.'

Plan of the whole of Edinburgh Castle, with sections coloured red and yellow, and cliffs shown with some realism in black, greys and greens. Although this is unsigned, the original National Library of Scotland accession records attribute it to Stephen Fane, who was a draughtsman working in the Tower of London Drawing Room. Another copy at shelfmark MS.1645Z.02/8b was also done in 1752, by someone with the initials 'T.D.', who is probably Thomas Day, who also worked in the Drawing Room at the same period.

This plan, dated 1740, shows the rivers Dee and Cluny at Auchindryne and Castleton (Braemar). It relates to a dispute between Alexander Farquharson of Auchindryn and John Farquharson of Invercauld. Associated papers refer to a map, 'done by Invercauld himself'. The map shows the Rivers Dee and Cluny, with adjacent lands between Mill of Auchindryne and Castletown, parish of Crathie and Braemar, Aberdeenshire. John Farquharson of Invercauld purchased the castle and lands in 1732. Notes on the plan give details of erosion and deposition due to river flooding. Efforts by one landowner to reduce the effects of flooding often caused damage elsewhere. At Castleton, old and new castles are shown. The new castle (Braemar) was first built in 1628, burnt in 1689 and then rebuilt. Castleton is drawn including the kirk, ferry etc. A timber road shows the increasing importance of forestry.

[Scotland, Shetland]
Description
Although it has no title this map is usually known as 'Royaume d'Ecosse' from the title of the table of places on the right hand side of the map. It was included in 'Atlas ou Recueil de Cartes Geographiques' by Nicholas de Fer which was published in Paris between 1709 and 1728. The map itself was probably also available separately a few years earlier (1706?), as that was when De Fer published his other maps of the British Isles and Ireland. The compression on the north-south axis is unusual for maps of this time, and the exaggeration round Aberdeen including the Bay and the mouth of the River Don is notable.

Description
This petition concerns a dispute between Thomas Buchan of Cairnbulg and Charles Fraser of Inveralochy regarding a Moss (which Fraser calls the Moss of Inveralochy, and Buchan calls the Moss of Cairnbulg), particularly in respect of the right to cut peat from the Moss. Fraser appeals to be allowed to 'make out a Plan of the said Moss; for though the Pursuer [i.e. Buchan] has made out a Scrape of a Plan, which to me appears not easily to be understood ... I hope your Lordships will therefore have no regard to it, but allow both of us to make Plans by your Authority that may be of use for Explication of the Proof; ... because of the Marches of the Links settled by the Interlocutor, which will not be easily understood without a Plan, ...' (p.5). The related plan is image 00002472. There is another, presumably related plan of the Moss, image 00002118.
