Description
This anonymous plan was drawn in 1586 in relation to legal action between Dundas and Elphinstoun. It shows lands at Harnstoune (Arniston) and Schanck (Shank). There is a large plan of Castleton on the reverse. The plan is strongly coloured with deep green and brown washes distinguishing pasture, arable and woodlands. Buildings are shown in a bird's eye view with the exception of Schanck (Shank) castle which is shown in elevation surrounded by its garden. At Harnstoune (Arniston) a stone bridge and a waulkmill are drawn. At waulkmills flax was worked to separate the linen fibre from the woody stems. Linen was an important industry in the 16th century.

Orchards
Description
This plan entitled 'Bridgend orchard' is a superbly detailed drawing of an early or mid-18th century orchard. No location is given, but it is unlikely to be in Northern Scotland or the Highlands where orchards tend to require a walled garden. The orchard is a rectangular plot with thick sheltering hedges of thorn with standard cherry and plum on three sides, and a shelter belt of forest trees and plum and the water of the mill leet on the fourth side. A grass path runs up the middle between 8 rows of trees. The gardener has coded the trees into those he considers 'healthy', 'middling', 'not thriving' and 'dying'. Gooseberry bushes and a potato shed are marked.

Description
This map of 4 enclosures has no date or attribution, and its precise location is unknown, although it has been attributed to the parish of Uphall in West Lothian. However a note at the bottom of the map reads 'The ground within these points was added to the Enclosure in the end of the year 1706', so it must post-date that year. A portion of the sheet appears to have been cut off the bottom. On the recto, the top of writing can be seen. On the verso, there is a fine drawing of the head of a child in late 17th. century/early 18th. century dress, but the top of the head is missing. On the verso of the sheet is a statement of the area of the four enclosures 'The whole Inclosures on the other side contain (something scored out) 24 Acres of grounds, & near a Rood of which (something scored out), The ditches round the whole, from the utmost Brink to half a yard within the thorns, with the cross ditches, & walks betwixt them, make in all 1 Acre, 3 Rood 4/5'.

Description
This sketch plan was drawn in 1728 for a legal dispute between the town of Forres and Mackintosh of Blairvie (Blervie) concerning a boundary. The dispute concerned a house built by Blairvie which the town considered an encroachment on their lands. An annotation records that people could remember the town challenging this encroachment during their annual riding of the marches by 'pulling out a pinning (?)'; this could refer to a wall pinning. Other neighbouring lands such as Pluscarden and Tulloch are named, and areas of forest and moss marked. Forres is drawn as a double line of houses either side of the road. Two roads are shown in the disputed area.

This mid-18th century map shows the river Spey between New Lunan and Ordiequish, Morayshire. The names of neighbouring landowners are marked. There is a small elevation drawing of Gordon Castle, home of the Duke of Gordon. By the late 16th century the town of Fochabers had became established beside the road leading to the river crossing, as shown on this plan. In the 1770s it was redeveloped by the Gordons on a regular grid pattern. The River Spey crossing ferry and its boathouse are marked on the plan. The ferry was the only means of crossing at this point until the first bridge was built in 1804.

The proprietors of neighbouring properties are named. In this area of Aberdeen there had been much land reclamation in the post-medieval period. Parson James Gordon's map of 1661 shows the James street area as dry ground formerly flooded. There were no buildings on it at that point. The line of the harbour and the quay is shown, with the position of a crane marked. The innermost point of the earlier harbour had been to the west, near Shore Brae, and excavations showed late medieval harbour walls there.

Description
This manuscript sketch plan drawn in 1726 shows the road between Pitsligo and Aberdour. It was drawn in response to a dispute between the inhabitants of Pitsligo and a Mr Leslie who had enclosed an area of land. Annotations explain that the enclosure had blocked the road from the town to the moss and the mill. The road was not deemed to be a right of way as it did not lead to a royal burgh or other public place. However, it had some validity by having been used for about 20 years and the map maker, although clearly biased towards the enclosing proprietor, suggests an alternative compromise route.

This map shows the changes made to the minor road leading from the main Hawick-Kelso road to the property of Nisbet Mill, near Nisbet, Roxburghshire, since enclosures took place. The old road is shown, along with the main Hawick-Kelso road, and the branch road to the village of Nisbet (the village is not shown on the map). The new road to the property of Nisbet Mill is shown in red. The map also details the agricultural and topographical features of the immediate area, showing the Teviot river, the dykes used to control it, a ford across it, the mill-lead from it, and the Jed Water, which joins it here, and has a bridge across it. It also notes that an area of the river which is now crossed by the new road is 'Gravel and Water', presumably to indicate that is fordable at that point, in the absence of a bridge. The boundaries of the properties of the two main landowners, the Marquess of Lothian and Lord Minto, are indicated, along with that of the holder of the property of Short Acres, on the way to Nisbet. It is not clear who has caused the enclosure.

It is undated but has been assessed as 1700 or later. On the verso are extensive notes relating to a dispute between the laird of Ballindarg and his tenants over property rights. It includes a list of witnesses and list of grievances. There is considerable detail of the lands of Logie, where pasture, cornland and mosses are named, and features such as ditches are drawn. Disputes over property rights became common during the 18th century when improving landowners tried to enclose and amalgamate blocks of land, often reducing traditional rights or practices of their tenants as a result.

It is lightly coloured. It was filed in the Court of Sessions, 11 March 1564, concerning a dispute about water for the Mill of Duddingston. Mills were an important source of income to landowners who had the right to force their tenants to pay to use their mill. Two mills are shown on a lade issuing from a mill pond dammed from the stream running east from Duddingston. The mills had vertical water wheels. Kilns to dry the corn to a state suitable for milling stand beside the mills.

Description
This anonymous sketch map was drawn as part of the legal dispute of 'Nairne against Crichton and others' in 1628. It covers an area of moors and farmland in Perthshire, stretching south from Dunkeld and Caputh to Moneydie, and includes land in the parishes of Auchtergaven and Moneydie. It shows the moors in the present-day areas of Newton Cowford, Fordy, Pitlandie and Kinvaid, and names the owners of each area. It also names the arable areas. The improvement of moorland was an important part of agricultural development at this time. Some areas of land in the north around the moors of Newton and Cowford are labelled as belonging to 'Mr. Nairn'. The Gelly Burn is also noted. Towards the northern margin there is a castle symbol lablelled 'Castrum ...'. Unfortunately, the place name is smudged and difficult to read.

Description
This 18th century plan is intended to show a proposed road from Kincardine O'Neil to Craigellachie. The existing turnpike and commutation roads are shown in yellow. The new road should be red but is visible only as a faint line. Turnpike roads were paid for by trustees who then recouped their costs by charging tolls. Commutation roads were based on a system introduced in 1669 requiring people to provide labour to build roads; often this labour was commuted into money. Hills such as Suie, Tap o Noth and the Cabrach are named and marked with hatching. Settlements include Keig, Kincardine, Learney, Craighall and Tillycairn. An inn, several churches and the site of 'a great fair' at the Muir of Rhynie are noted.

This early 18th-century sketch plan depicts the Sauchie march boundary at Young's corner on the road by Alloa. A related sketch shows the detail of an angle of the march that was in dispute. There is no scale. A dyke is marked as the alleged Sauchie march. A second line is drawn nearer the high road, with points numbered 1-11 showing the suggested march line. Some of the points are identified by stones, the burn and a hedge. The suggested boundary is angled to avoid two panholes. These are probably salt pans. Sea water was boiled in huge shallow iron pans using coal from nearby collieries to evaporate the water and allow the salt to be collected.

They have been drawn in pencil, so that the three of them which are uncoloured are somewhat faded. The only words on them are French, 'toise' being a French linear measurement equivalent to 6.395 feet, and 'Tab.' referring to 'table' or 'diagram/plan'. No. 3, which is pencil only and has no scale, appears to show a fortification on a hill, on a river loop, with defence in the river. Nos. 1 and 2, which are also pencil drawings, have scale bars graded 0-200 'toises', and show embattlement fortifications.

Description
This map shows Scotland from the Lothians, Ayrshire and Renfrewshire in the south to Kintail in the north. North of Stirling, it indicates the clan territories by name, and gives the number of men each clan contributed to the 1715 Rising in favour of James Francis Stuart, marking the Stuart forces in red. It is a copy done in the Tower of London Drawing Room, by John Manson. As Manson was only in the Drawing Room between 1748 and 1749, this would date this copy to that period. It is accompanied by a sheet of text (on image 00003161), which lists the clans, their numbers in the battles, and their loyalties, with some additional notes. If the original map was drawn up at the same time as the original of the text sheet, they would both have to be dated to several years post-1725, because of the note in the text about the clans' continuing obedience to the 1725 Disarming Act. However, the map does not mark any of the battles of 1745-1746 Stuart Rising, which seems to indicate that the original was drawn up prior to that date, although this copy was drawn three or four years later. The map also and marks notable battles, specifically Dunbar in 1650, between the Scots forces led by David Leslie and the English forces led by Oliver Cromwell; Killiecrankie in 1689, when General Hugh Mackay of Scourie was defeated by the forces of John Graham, Viscount Dundee, but Dundee was killed; the battle at Haughs of Cromdale in 1690, when Sir Thomas Livingstone defeated a force of Highlanders led by one of the exiled James II's Irish generals, General Buchan; Sheriffmuir in 1715, when John Campbell, Duke of Argyll defeated the forces of John Erskine, Earl of Mar; and finally, Glenshiel in 1719, when a force of Spaniards sent over by James Francis Stuart, and a small number from the Highland clans, led by George Keith, the 10th Earl Marischal, were defeated by General Wightman. It also marks the naval engagement in the Firth of Forth, when James Francis Stuart tried to land at Pittenweem, Fife in 1708, and the place where John Erskine Earl of Mar raised the standard to start the 1715 Rising, at the Braes of Mar. Other features noted on it are three of the Highland forts, Ruthven, Inversnaid and Bernera, built between 1719 and 1724, Fort William, Fort Augustus and Fort George at Inverness, but not Fort George, Ardersier, as that was only in its initial stages of construction even at the time of the copying of the map. It also marks the Antonine Wall, named as 'Graham's Dyke', the Roman fort at Ardoch, and the proposed route of the Forth-Clyde canal.
