[Scotland, St Kilda, Island of, Western Isles]
Description
This map of the islands in the St Kilda group was published in 'A late Voyage to St Kilda, the remotest of all the Hebrides' by Martin Martin. The book was first printed in London in 1698, with later editions in 1720, 1753 and 1774. St Brianan's (Brendan's) and St Columba's chapels were both described by Martin as stone buildings with thatched roofs and attached graveyards. Neither survived until the island was surveyed in 1928. The pyramids probably represent beehive shaped stone huts. These were used in the 17th century as shielings or shelters for use while tending animals at summer pasture on the hills. Archaeological excavation has revealed traces of much earlier permanent settlement in these areas.

Description
This image represents the defeat of the forces of Mary Queen of Scots and her third husband Lord Bothwell by those of the Lords of the Congregation (Lords Morton, Home and Grange). Mary was captured after the battle and imprisoned in Lochleven Castle. She was forced to abdicate on 24 July, and, although she escaped the following year, this battle marked the end of her personal power in Scotland. The victory of the Protestant Lords was achieved with direct help from England.

Description
This anonymous plan, dated to the mid-18th century, includes a simple compass rose and a red and white linear scale. The meadow is shown divided into 9 arable fields belonging to three different proprietors, Mr McDowal, Alexander Leslie, and James Inglis. The arable land was surrounded by a wide grassy border. Drains extended around the meadow on both sides. The plan has a different colouring for each proprietor's land. A separate key gives the area measurements of each field, and the grassy areas and drains.

[Bellie, Garmouth, Linnburn, Pottie-burn, Scotland, Spey River, Speymouth, Urquart]
Description
This coloured plan shows the river Spey from Spey Bay at Garmouth inland to near Gordon Castle, by Fochabers. It was engraved by Thomas Phinn in Edinburgh in 1761, copied from a map surveyed by Alexander McGill in 1727. The map appears to have been produced for a dispute concerning fishing rights. The key describes the harbour, identified by ship symbols, which is dry at low tide. High tide lines and shingle banks are drawn in some detail. The fishing is divided into the lower reaches, which are fished by cobles or timber boats, and the higher reaches where currochs (curraghs) were used. Curraghs or coracles are boats with a light basket-like framework covered in cowhide.

Description
This plan of part of the River Spey was based on a survey by Alexander McGill for the Court of Session in 1727. It was engraved by John Senex (fl.1690-1740), Geographer to Queen Anne. It shows the river between its mouth and Bihaggarles Gevin (Balhargarty's Gavin). The shoreline is drawn in detail, marking the high water line, salt marshes and the channel of the river mouth as it was in 1724. The direction of flow is marked by arrows, and the position of a ferry is shown. Gordon Castle, beside the Spey, was a tower house built in 1498-1502 by the Gordon Earls of Huntly. In the 17th century this was extended and the castle became the family's main residence after Huntly Castle was laid waste.

Description
This plan of part of the river Spey was surveyed by Alexander McGill and engraved by John Senex in 1727. It is coloured green for the areas of the inlet where water lies at all times. Gravel bars are indicated by stippling. It shows the lower Spey from its mouth at Garmouth and was originally drawn for a dispute regarding fishing rights, which are detailed in the key. An inset map of the river mouth shows the bay at high water. A year after it was drawn, the map was reused as paper for journal entries for the 24-28 June 1728. The writing is difficult to read, but from the words which can be deciphered it appears unrelated to the map.
