Description
A Dutch map of Scotland by Joannis Janssonius of Amsterdam and published in his 1628 'Atlas Minor Gerardi Mercatoris'. The map is based on Mercator's map of 1595 but was engraved by Pieter van den Keere and A. Goos. There are stark differences between this and Mercator's map, particularly in the outline of the country and the islands. Landforms are generally narrower, though there are some new promontories, such as along the Ayrshire and Moray coasts. The map is part of the Marischal Collection, named after George Keith, 10th Earl Marischal of Scotland (d. 1778). Originally a Jacobite collection established by the Stuart court in France, it remained there until the National Library of Scotland obtained it in 1978.

Description
A Dutch map of Scotland without the north ('Scotia Meridionalis') made in 1628 by Joannis Janssonius. It was published in a new edition of 'Atlas Minor Gerardi Mercatoris' which ran to further editions until 1651. Based on Mercator's 1595 map but using new plates engraved by van den Keere and Goos, this map displays settlements, bodies of water, and hills. Unlike Mercator's map, dotted lines separate regions, some sites are relocated (e.g., Dunbar Castle), and Loch Lomond opens into the sea. In 1607 a similar map of Scotland was published by Hondius in the first 'Atlas Minor' but without the differences cited; however, Janssonius's map provides more detail than does Hondius's.

Description
The 1631 or later issue of the map of the north of Scotland ('Scotia septentrionalis') by Joannis Janssonius in his 'Atlas Minor'. Janssonius also produced a map of the rest of Scotland and of the same size (5'x7') and scale (c.42 Scots miles to the inch). Latitude is overestimated by almost two degrees, and longitude is most likely calculated from the Azores. There are further differences with Mercator's 1595 map, such as the notably more irregular coastlines; Loch Ness is enlarged and its mouth (and those of other lochs) is open to the sea; and there are fewer place names. Janssonius (1588-1664) was a brother-in-law of the sons of Jodocus Hondius (Jodocus II and Henricus).

Description
A small map of Scotland produced in 1749 by Thomas Jefferys and published in Thomas Salmon's 'A New Geographical and Historical Grammar'. This work went to later editions until 1786, though the map was last included in 1758. Jefferys' map shows the shapes and alignments of Scotland and the islands (especially Lewis) as they were understood before Doret's more exact map of 1750. Hills are inserted imaginatively, usually along shire boundaries which are also indicated by dotted lines. An unusual geese-like formation is apparent east of Barra. Jefferys (1699-1771) was geographer to the Prince of Wales (later George III) as well as a publisher of charts and maps. His works were regarded as both excellent and prolific, particularly those covering North America.

Description
This map, and its contemporary copy at shelfmark MS.1647.Z.03/09b, are listed in the 'Board of Ordnance Register of Plans 1700-1800' as being from 'Mr. Jelfe'. They bear a strong resemblance to the maps surveyed and drawn by John Henri Bastide and John Dumaresq, in 1718 (at shelfmark MS.1647.Z.03/08a and contemporary copy at shelfmark MS.1647.Z.03/08b). They perhaps derive from them, or from the same survey, since Jelfe worked with Bastide and Dumaresq on the four new Highland forts of Kiliwhimen, Bernera, Ruthven and Inversnaid, which were built between 1718 and 1724.

Description
The major portion of this sheet is a hand coloured 'prospect' of the area around the Bernera Barracks, at Glen Elg, with a small map of the area inset in the upper right corner. The artist was John Henri Bastide, a Board of Ordnance surveyor and draughtsman, who usually worked in partnership with John Dumaresq. There are 'key' letters on the picture, however, with an 'Explanation' of the features to which they refer, in one corner. The letters also refer to features on the inset map, which has been done from a survey by 'Mr. Jelf', who was also working with Bastide at that time, at all four of the new Highland forts, Bernera, Inversnaid, Ruthven and Kiliwhimen.

However, the plan is from the same sequence as those at shelfmarks MS.1646.Z.02/26a (1785 copy at shelfmark MS.1646.Z.02/26b) and MS.1646.Z.02/26c.

Although there is no signature or date on the plan, the 'Board of Ordnance Register of Plans 1700-1800' lists it as being from Andrews Jelfe, in 1719. There is another contemporary plan of the Bernera barracks by Jelfe at shelfmark MS.1647.Z.03/06a. The original plans for the four Highland barrack forts, Bernera, Kiliwhimen, Inversnaid and Ruthven, were drawn up in 1717 by James Smith, who was the royal chief surveyor. There are two very similar contemporary plans of Bernera by John Henri Bastide, with whom Andrews Jelfe was working, at shelfmarks MS.1647.Z.03/05a and MS.1647.Z.03/05b. The overall view of Glen Elg, drawn by Bastide, at shelfmark MS.1647.Z.03/07a, was partly based on a survey by Jelfe.

Description
This plan is part of the series of plans drawn up by the architect Andrews Jelfe, while strengthening and extending Edinburgh Castle in 1719. Jelfe was responsible for major reconstruction of many of the fortifications in Scotland in the year 1719, including, Dumbarton, Stirling and Fort William. He was also one of the people responsible for the building of the four Highland forts at Bernera, Inversnaid, Kiliwhimen and Ruthven, at this period. This plan and one of its companions (image 00002613), and the two copies on images 00002612 and 00002614, have been signed by Jelfe, although he may not have actually drawn them. Two of the plans, one of the copies, and an unsigned plan from this set, on image 00002670, were drawn and annotated by the same person, but the copy on image 00002612 has different handwriting. A set of five plans relating to these were drawn for Jelfe by Thomas Moore (who signed them), just prior to these, and are on images 00002654-2658. The plan shows three components of building work proposed for the church porch at Edinburgh Castle, including the new steps.

This plan of the barracks being built at Kiliwhimen between 1718 and 1719, seems to follow the plan at shelfmark MS.1647.Z.03/10c, as it shows completed features which were only described as being possible 'if the money answers' on the plan at shelfmark MS.1647.Z.03/10c. There is a copy of this plan at shelfmark MS.1647.Z.03/10a, done by Nathaniel Minshall, a Tower of London draughtsman, between 1758 and 1763. Another plan at shelfmark MS.1647.Z.03/10d also follows the plan at shelfmark MS.1647.Z.03/10c, but is not a copy of this. The original plans for the four Highland barrack forts, Bernera, Kiliwhimen, Inversnaid and Ruthven, were drawn up in 1717 by James Smith, who was the royal chief surveyor, but were actually executed by John Bastide and Andrews Jelfe, and later John Romer, between 1718 and 1724.
