Description
This manuscript plan titled 'Plan of the lands of Butterwhat in the parish of Dalton', Dumfries, is undated but probably originates from the mid-18th century when improvements were extending to smaller properties such as this appears to be. The land, extending to 96 acres, is divided into muir, 56 acres of outfield which was wholly arable, and the croft land and meadows for grazing. One area of soft bog is likely to have been unusable. The property is bounded to the north by the commonty of Mouswald. If this property had rights of commonty, this would have given extra grazing for part of the year. Two fields within the boundary were farmed by other people.

Description
This manuscript plan was surveyed by John Tait and drawn by John Gillon in c. 1756. It is coloured with a decorative compass and scale. A cluster of buildings are shown at Kirkhill, near the church and churchyard. The old glebe lands are marked. Other features include the road and a new stone dyke. Many dykes were built during the 18th century land improvements. The land has been divided into arable, pasture and bog, each differentiated by a different colour. Most of the arable was in one block, beside the marl pit which would have been used to extract lime to improve the ground.

This is the companion to the plan at shelfmark MS.1646.Z.02/36a (which has a 19th century copy at shelfmark MS.1646.Z.02/36b). It show the sections and elevations of the destruction at Fort George, Inverness, after the Jacobite attack in 1746, through the line from the entrance of the fort to the Governor's house, and the line from the castle to the soldiers' barracks. It was surveyed and drawn by Charles Tarrant, and signed by William Skinner, the Chief Engineer for the Board of Ordnance. As a result of the destruction, the decision was taken not to attempt to repair this site, but to build a completely new Fort George. The initial proposals by Lewis Marcell (see plan at shelfmark MS.1647.Z.02/83a, and associated sections) and William Skinner, were for the site of the old Cromwellian fort, known as Oliver's Fort (see Louis Petit's map at shelfmark MS.1647.Z.02/78a), but eventually Skinner's second proposals for the site at Ardersier Point (see plans and sections from shelfmarks MS.1646.Z.02/39 to MS.1646.Z.02/60) were accepted.
