The sheet has a complete plan of Edinburgh Castle, with buildings letter-coded and explained, and an artistic depiction of the cliffs on either side of the castle, and within its walls; the upper part of High Street is also shown in plan, but not labelled, as well as the path leading to it, and paths down the cliffs.

Description
This plan of Edinburgh Castle was drawn by Thomas Moore in 1725. However, the Board of Ordnance Register does not say whether he also did the surveying. Interestingly, it is written in French. There is another copy of this plan, probably contemporary, but written in English, in image 00002615, and a later copy done in the Tower of London Drawing Room, written again in French, in image 00002616. It shows a line plan of the castle imposed on a 3-dimensional representation of the contours of the Castle Rock. The drawing is coloured with relief in brown and buildings in red. The upper part of the High Street of Edinburgh is also shown in plan, but not labelled, as well as the path leading to it, and paths down the cliffs.

Description
This sheet shows the plans, with some elevations and sections of several parts of Dumbarton Castle in 1719. According to the 'Board of Ordnance Register of Plans 1700-1800', it was received from 'Mr. Jelfe' in 1719, but no draughtsman is listed. However, as the 1934 War Office Schedule notes 'The draughtsman who prepared this survey also made sheets of drawings of the buildings at Edinburgh and Stirling Castles', and from the style of this sheet compared with the 1719 plans of Edinburgh Castle at shelfmarks MS.1645.Z.02/01a, MS.1645.Z.02/01b, MS.1645.Z.02/01c, MS.1645.Z.02/01d and MS.1645.Z.02/01e, and of Stirling Castle at shelfmarks MS.1646.Z.02/18a, MS.1646.Z.02/18b, MS.1646.Z.02/18c and MS.1646.Z.02/18d, for which Andrews Jelfe was the architect, the draughtsman is probably Thomas Moore. (Compare also the 1719 plans of Fort William at shelfmarks MS.1646.Z.02/26a and MS.1646.Z.02/26c).

Description
This is the first in a set of five plans, the others being on images 00002655, 00002656, 00002657 and 00002658. According to the 'Board of Ordnance Register of Plans 1700-1800', the engineer overseeing the project was Andrews Jelfe, but the plans have been signed in the bottom right hand corner by Thomas Moore, who was one of the draughtsman working with Jelfe. Judging from the style and handwriting, he drew other plans for Jelfe, in the same year, notably Stirling. However, this set of Edinburgh plans, and one from Stirling, are the only ones that have Moore's signature. This sheet shows the central structure of the castle, around the Parade, comprising the King's Lodgings, the apartments of the Governor, the Sergeant of the Castle, the barrack masters and the gunners, and the schoolmaster, the gunners' barracks and soldiers' barracks, storerooms, gunports, coalhouses and drinking rooms. Andrews Jelfe worked on most of the major fortifications in Scotland, in the year 1719. There is another set of plans related to these five and the work at Edinburgh Castle, three of which are on images 00002611, 00002613 and 00002670 (with two copies on images 00002612 and 00002614). They are dated April 1719, and the Board of Ordnance Register indicates that they post-date these five. Four of those plans and their copies have been signed by Jelfe, but not necessarily drawn by him. Although the same draughtsman was responsible for all of them (except one of the copies), it may not have been Thomas Moore.

This plan and its companions have been signed by Moore.

This plan and its companions have been signed by Moore. This sheet shows plans of barracks, carriage sheds, powder magazine, storeroom, malt kiln and 'laboratoire'. 'Laboratoire' is probably a laboratory attached to the gunners' sections (see 'W. the Powder Magazin X. The Fyreworks Laboratorie' on the 1696 plan of Edinburgh Castle, on image 00003443.) A plan of proposed improvements to the powder magazine is found on the plans and sections of Kiliwhimen and Inversnaid Barracks on image 3028, (copy on 3029), attributed to John Romer, but probably drawn by Thomas Moore.

Description
This is the third state of the map of Scotland published by Christopher Browne of London and based on an earlier map by Robert Gordon. In this state the main title acknowledging Gordon is missing and the sub title only appears in the fine engraved title cartouche. First published in 1705, this map is dedicated to Queen Anne which dates it between 1705 and 1714; it is likely to belong to the latter part of her reign. An inset shows Shetland rather sketchily. Browne took over the publishing of this map from Robert Morden who died in 1703. The copper plates use to print it are known to have still been in use at least twenty years later.

Description
A small coloured map of Scotland from 1688 by Robert Morden entitled 'Scotiae Nova Descriptio' or 'The description of Scotland'. It was published in the second edition of his 'Geography Rectified' and is a near copy of Robert Gordon's 'Scotia Regnum' of 1654. The map is divided into traditional regions such as Lothian, Carrick and Argyll. It includes detailed latitude and longitude; a list of places denoted by number or letter begins in the bottom right corner and is continued in the top left corner. This map also appeared in Patrick Gordon's 'The Geographical Grammar' of 1693. Morden (d. 1703) was a cartographer and map seller based in London who also published 'The New Description and State of England' (1701).

Description
A map of Scotland produced in 1695 by Robert Morden, a London-based cartographer and map seller. Edmund Gibson published it in a new edition of 'Camden's Britannia'. Notable features include the shape of Lewis, the extended north-east coast, and the coloured boundary lines. This was an improved edition of Morden's 1687 map with a new cartouche, and the prime meridian by then going through London rather than the Canary Islands. Both maps were based on Robert Gordon's groundbreaking 'Scotia Regnum' which appeared in Blaeu's 'Atlas' of 1654. In 1680 Morden compiled 'Geography Rectified' and in 1701 he published a collection of maps of England and Wales in 'The New Description and State of England'. He died in 1703.
