Description
The final chart in John Adair's atlas, 'The Description of the Sea-Coast and Islands of Scotland' of 1703 covers the east coast from Red Head to Aberdeen. It emphasizes the dangerous nature of this coast with few harbours and a rock-girt shoreline. Unlike the map of Montrose, very little information is given about Aberdeen harbour apart from a set of offshore soundings. Surviving manuscripts show that Adair had surveyed the mouth of the Dee while working along this coast. This lack of detail contrasts with the chart drawn by Greenvile Collins and published in his 1693 'Great-Britain's Coasting Pilot'. This chart was engraved by James Clark, who worked at the Scottish Mint, and reflects the superior quality of his work.

Description
This is the title page of John Adair's 'The Description of the Sea-Coast and Islands of Scotland' published in Edinburgh in 1703 - the first sea atlas produced in Scotland. It was intended as one in a series of volumes covering the whole of the Scottish coast. The atlas contains only six charts, five of the east coast from Sunderland Point to Aberdeen, in addition to sailing directions. At this time, trade with the Baltic and the Netherlands still dominated Scottish maritime commerce. Surveying for these charts had been completed by 1694 and the delay in publication emphasizes Adair's business difficulties. The detail of the charts, however, compares well with those of the Englishman, Greenvile Collins published ten years earlier.

[Fife, Scotland]
Description
A manuscript map of that part of Fife lying east of Falkland and concentrating on the settlement pattern along the coasts and river valleys. It was prepared by John Adair in 1684 and comes from the period when he was preparing a series of maps of east central Scotland for Sir Robert Sibbald. Key harbours and anchorages are marked but this is a map of the landward areas rather than a chart. Although hills are shown conventionally, Largo Law and the Lomond Hills rear up as significant peaks. Adair's eye for detail can be seen in the mapping of Cupar and St. Andrews which identifies its three main streets, the castle and the cathedral precincts.

Description
This, the third of five coastal charts included in John Adair's 'The Description of the Sea-Coast and Islands of Scotland', shows the east coast of Scotland from Fife Ness to Red Head. It concentrates on the River and Firth of Tay, and clearly identifies the navigable channel up to Perth by a series of soundings. Leading lines off Buddon Ness also mark the line of route into Dundee, still recovering from its sacking by General Monck in 1651. Sand-banks are identified, as are significant hills, such as East Lomond. Adair's surveying of this coast had been completed by 1694 but the atlas was not published until 1703. Despite this, the sheet appears unfinished with some engraving lines poorly erased.

Description
This chart is one of five coastal maps which appeared in John Adair's 'The Description of the Sea-Coast and Islands of Scotland' published in Edinburgh in 1703. It shows the Firth of Forth from St. Abb's Head to Queensferry. The chart concentrates on coastal features, but detail is concentrated up-river from Inch Keith. At this time, the east coast trade with the Baltic ports and the Netherlands was still the major element of Scottish commerce. This chart, therefore, depicts the major shipping thoroughfare of late seventeenth century Scotland. Adair had surveyed the coast by 1693, the same year as the appearance of 'Great-Britain's Coasting Pilot' by Greenvile Collins, but it took another ten years for Adair's charts to be published.

Description
This map of the original house lands belonging to Sir John Clerk of Penicuik, the first Baronet (d. 1722), at the Penicuik House site, executed by John Adair in 1687, is very faded, and somewhat damaged. A photocopy taken some years ago, which clarifies some of the more faded elements of the map, is on images 00002573 and 00002574. The house shown on here is Newbigging House, the predecessor of the Penicuik House designed by the second Baronet, Sir John Clerk (1676-1755), and built until 1761. Newbigging House then became known as Old Penicuik House. The map has an ornate title cartouche in the bottom left hand corner, showing two cherubs, one of them holding a fishing (or possibly surveying) line, and contains the title and the words 'surveyed & designed by J. Adair 1687'. The first Baronet, Sir John Clerk died in 1722. His father, John Clerk, had bought the lands of the Barony of Penicuik in 1646. The map itself shows the lands around Newbigging House, including the properties of Ravensneuk in the south and Ravens Hall in the west. It shows the North Esk river, and some of the smaller burns, the East Burn, the West Burn, the Cursewell, on which the faded 'Scobie well' and its little structure can just be made out, and [?]sons Clough, on which stands an unnamed building. Also drawn are the avenues of trees, the 'upper ponnd', and what may be a ruin, or possibly a folly, named as 'Knightsla', to the north. In the bottom right hand corner is a vignette of the house taken from the east. Other vignettes show a person fishing in the North Esk, someone striding along with a firearm, a field of hay in stooks, with the haymaker working in it, and a field of sheep with their shepherd. At a later date, a note has been added in manuscript to the top of the sheet 'House & park[s?] of penny[coo?]k by John Adair 1787'. The mistake in the date may have been made because the same person added notes on the horticultural development of the lands, all of which were in the 18th. century - 'The braes of [Ravensneuk?] [was ?] planted between 1710 & 1726', 'This avenue and bridge [?] on the E. burn was begun in 1728', 'The Garden was made between 1714 and 1716'. These developments are in the time of the second Baronet, Sir John Clerk 1676-1755. Another note about the title and date had originally been pasted in the top right hand corner, but this has been removed. However, it can be seen on the images of the photocopy at 00002573 and 00002574. The maps on the images 00002330 and 00002331 may be contemporary with this map, and may be associated with the developments.

Description
This manuscript chart depicts the Firth of Forth up to Queensferry and was drawn by John Adair, probably dating from the period 1683-85. It provides information about soundings, rocks, anchorages and the coastal settlements on both sides of the estuary. One interesting feature of this manuscript is the marginal set of views of headlands and islands in the Forth. The actual delineation of the coast is remarkably similar to that on the chart of Edinburgh Firth which appears in Great-Britain's Coasting Pilot by Greenvile Collins (1693), particularly in the gap between Dunbar and St. Abb's Head; but in this case, Adair provides far greater detail of settlements in East Lothian, such as Inveresk and Tranent.

A manuscript map of the Orkney Islands oriented with west to the top of the sheet and identifying the major islands, harbours and anchorages. Dated 1682, this map was drawn by the Scots cartographer John Adair, but it does not seem to have been based on his own surveys. It is a much less detailed copy of the chart 'The Islands of Orkney' from Great-Britain's Coasting Pilot by Greenvile Collins, first published in London in 1693. Unlike the chart by Collins, Adair's map has no soundings and far fewer names. Unlike the chart by Collins, Adair's map has no soundings and far fewer names. Collins is known to have begun surveying these waters in 1685 and the dating of this manuscript should be treated with caution. Adair was to survey the Orkneys in 1698.

Description
This manuscript chart of the River Forth was made by the Scottish mapmaker John Adair (1660-1718) in about 1685. It was the most accurate depiction of the river in its time. It depicts the river from Stirling in the west to South Queensferry in the east. Most of the features marked are coastal, including sandbanks, anchorages and soundings. Clearly, the purpose of this map was to aid navigation of the river. This chart is bound into a copy of Adair's 'The Description of the Sea-Coast and Islands of Scotland' (1703) now belonging to Glasgow University Library. Its discovery was an important addition to the surviving body of his work.

Description
This manuscript map shows the drainage basins of the Rivers Tweed and Yarrow, and the Borthwick Water west of Melrose. It was drawn by John Adair, probably for the proposed Scottish atlas of Sir Robert Sibbald. It identifies major tributaries and feeder lochs but settlements are mostly restricted to those along the river valleys. Upland areas are noticeably empty and are dominated by hill drawings. A pecked line appears to delimit the sheriffdom boundary. A similar map, with the same title but drawn by Robert Gordon of Straloch, is in the papers of Sir Robert Sibbald, probably copied from an earlier Pont manuscript. The places names are identical and comparison suggests that Adair copied his map from the Gordon draft.

This manuscript map of south-west Scotland is the work of John Adair and was probably drawn about 1695 when he was surveying the Solway coast. It delineates the coast from the Clyde estuary to Carlisle but, concentrating on coastal features, no offshore soundings or anchorages are marked. Very few features are sketched - only the policies of Kelburne House are shown - but the depiction is a marked improvement on Adair's earlier map of the area, particularly along the Solway coast.

This is the fourth coastal chart published in John Adair's atlas, 'The Description of the Sea-Coast and Islands of Scotland' in 1703. It depicts the east coast from Red Head to the mouth of the North Esk and concentrates on the Montrose Basin. The detailed plan of Montrose, which clearly identifies the tollbooth, church and mill, reflects the town's position as a major port trading with the Baltic. This depiction contrasts with the empty appearance of the rest of the map which is characterised by coastal sand dunes running north to the Esk. This is the only dated map in the atlas, being engraved in 1693 by James Clark, but the empty title crest gives it an unfinished appearance.

Plan of design for part of the garden at the Grange, Peebles, belonging to the Hon. Major Thomas Cochran. It is drawn in ink with a colour wash. The Process states that William Adam was employed by Cochran to draw a plan since Boutcher's was not agreeable and therefore useless. Adam's plan was actually used in practice. The drawing is very fine with a ripple effect for water in the two ponds. There is no key but by comparison with the plan of this garden drawn by William Boutcher in 1733, it is possible to locate it. The garden is shown as a very geometric design with a central pond and small parterres or formal flower beds. A second water feature lay outwith the main garden. An avenue of trees extended south from the house.

Description
This 18th-century plan of Carnell, Ayr, entitled 'Plan of the farm of Hill, the property of Captain Wallace of Cairnhill' was surveyed by John Anderson. An annotation notes that if the owner was Thomas Wallace, he died in 1812. The lands are divided into a series of enclosed parks each of which is named and the acreage given in the key. A coalworks is drawn with its associated coal road. The owner's house and garden lie beside this road. Corn and lint mills lie beside the mill lade near the main steading. Lint mills separated the linen fibre from the woody part of flax stems, a process mechanised from 1729. The linen industry was important in south-western Scotland.

Description
This map was 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 the time of this map, 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 dated 26 April 1717, and 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. Interestingly, the crucial 'Coalcleugh', which Sir John had used as his march line, is now simply labelled 'cleugh', but Sir John sticks to the actual line itself in his claim. However, the map seems to be incomplete, as the march line claimed by the Forbes is drawn in pencil, and marked 'H' (leading to 'E', the 'Litle cruik' on the Monks Burn), but not explained or disputed, as it had been in the 1713 maps, and is in image 00002242, a map drawn a year later. Just as he had in 1713, Sir John Clerk uses a document from 1518 to substantiate his claims about the boundaries. That document had recorded in meticulous detail the walking of the marches between these two properties, on 7 October of that year, to establish the exact lines of the boundaries. Sir John transcribes the relevant part of it in the original Latin, on to the map, and adds his own note that the original officials who laid down the boundary stones, had 'appoint never to be altered'. He also emphasises the fact that these boundaries 'will [be] 200 years old come 7 October [1718]', the antiquity of the agreed and witnessed boundaries being an important legal point. There is a note on the verso that on 6 August 1717, a copy of this map had been given to 'My Ld Grange one of ye arbiters chosen by us', and another copy to 'Lord Polton', and a year later, on 17 March 1718, a copy of the details of the 1518 perambulations had been given to 'Mr. Ingles'. This map also shows the farms at Nine Mile Burn, the houses at Newhall, Marfield and Auchencorth, the North Esk, Monks Burn, and a second 'Coalcleugh or Coalsyke', this one running south from the Esk instead of north.
