Description
A map of 'The north part of Great Britain' by Thomas Bakewell which appeared in Thomas Taylor's 'England exactly described or a guide to travellers' in 1715. Guidebooks of this time usually only included general maps of Scotland, and county maps of England and Wales. It is based on maps published by Herman Moll and Sutton Nicholls a few years earlier and is one of the earlier depictions of roads in Scotland. The roads are not shown accurately but rather as straight lines between settlements, with mileages. The title reflects the recent change in Scotland's status from being an independent country following the Union of Parliaments in 1707.

It also shows the seventeenth century Cromwellian fort, known as Oliver's Fort, but lacks the sailing ships and compass rose of the original. There is a full copy of this map at shelfmark MS.1647.Z.02/76c. The 'Board of Ordnance Register of Plans 1700-1800' lists all three items from 'Mr. Bastide', but does not give the date. The maps can however, be dated between 1719 and 1727, from the words 'H. Camp before marchg: to glen Sheil' in the 'Explanation', which means they have to post date the battle of Glen Shiel, which took place on 10 June, 1719, and from the absence of Fort George, Inverness, which was started on 7 August 1727 (see John Romer's plan at shelfmark MS.1646.Z.02/34a). John Bastide was present at the batle of Glen Shiel and produced a plan of the battle (at shelfmark MS.1648.Z.03/22a).

He does not appear on the Tower of London Drawing Room list as a draughtsman until 1755, and left in 1760, so the map could have been copied by him, any time between those dates.

Description
This map shows the progress of the battle of Glenshiel, which was fought on 10 June 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. The draughtsman, John Henri Bastide, was at that time a lieutenant employed as a Board of Ordnance draughtsman. He was also engaged in the same year, on the plans for the construction of the four highland forts at Bernera, near to Glen Shiel, Ruthven, Inversnaid and Kiliwhimen. Towards the right side of the map, he shows the government forces as they were first drawn up. From there, a series of dotted red lines show how each section of the army moved and engaged the Stuart forces, until the Stuart forces were finally put to flight, towards the bottom left hand area of the map. He has drawn figures of the retreating soldiers fighting a rearguard action, including several vignettes of fallen men. He has added a note to the bottom of the 'References' box to the effect 'NB That the Ennemy in Their flight still fir'd & defended the places of difficult access'. There is a tall structure in the River Shiel, which he lists in his 'References to the Ennemy' as 'the Barricade that defended the pass of the River side'. In the middle of the map, just above the bend in the river, General Wightman is shown on his horse. Bastide also notes 'The Mount Call'd Skururan the Highest in Scotland Except Ben Nevis', which is Sgurr Fhuran, 3,505 feet high, in Glen Shiel.

This is a contemporary copy of another Bastide and Dumaresq map at shelfmark MS.1647.Z.03/08a, showing the land around Loch Ness in 1718, where the rivers Oich and Tarff enter it, and the proposed site for the new barracks fort of Kiliwhimen. It has topographical and hydrographical notes, and shows the site of the old Kiliwhimen Castle. Two other maps by Jelfe, at shelfmarks MS.1647.Z.03/08a and MS.1647.Z.03/08b, bear a strong resemblance to these two, and 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
This sheet shows a plan of the Bernera barracks in process of being built at Glen Elg, with sections and elevations of the three storey high barracks. Although there is no signature or date on the plan, the 'Board of Ordnance Register of Plans 1700-1800' lists it as being from 'Mr. Bastide', in 1719. 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. Bernera and Ruthven, were beset by financial and administrative problems, as can be seen from the 'Explanation' on this plan, as one of the guard houses, the bakehouse and two of the towers are 'left to be built if the money answers'. There is a copy of this plan at shelfmark MS.1647.Z.03/05b, which was done in the Tower of London Drawing Room, in January 1763, by Francis Gould. There are two very similar contemporary plans by Jelfe, with whom Bastide was working, at shelfmarks MS.1647.Z.03/05c and MS.1647.Z.03/06a. 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
Published by Pieter van der Aa in 'Les délices de la Grande Bretagne & de l'Irlande' by James Beeverell, this map of Scotland shows places and roads. Although the map was included in both editions of the book, this particular copy came from the 1727 edition. The page number 1106 appears at the top right - if it belonged to the earlier edition of 1707 it would read 'Pag'. 1033'. Note the crudely drawn coat of arms depicting the lion rampant supported by two cherubs; this was a common form of decoration at the time and appears on several maps of Scotland.
