Description
This is a 1795 copy of a 1746 plan and elevations, by Dugal Campbell, of a shed built at Edinburgh Castle to receive 50 bread carts. It was done in the Tower of London Drawing Room by John Spencer. Dugal Campbell's original is at shelfmark MS.1645.Z.02/06a. This shed was an addition to his work on the castle in the 1740's, made necessary by the increased garrison.

Description
This plan would probably be fifth in a set of six plans produced by Dugal Campbell for the upgrading of Fort William between 1744 and 1746. It shows the completion of much of the work mentioned in the previous plans, with the exceptions of the main gate, which has not yet been started (although plans had been drawn up, see shelfmarks MS.1646.Z.02/27a and MS.1646.Z.02/27b), and the additional barracks (shelfmark MS.1646.Z.02/30a, with a copy at shelfmark MS.1646.Z.02/30b), which were a later proposal. The officers' barracks (shelfmark MS.1646.Z.02/28b) has one storey completed. The other plans in the set are soldiers' barracks, the bakehouse and proposals for a ravelin gate and the main gate at shelfmark MS.1646.Z.02/28a, and the Governor's house at shelfmark MS.1646.Z.02/28c.

Description
This sheet is in two parts. The bottom half shows the plan of the front entrance to the fort, and the top half shows the elevations and sections of the ravelin gate which had been completed in 1744, and the improvements to the main gate proposed for 1745. This would put it third in the sequence of six plans drawn up by Dugal Campbell between 1744 and 1746, detailing the upgrading of the fort. It is however, not Dugal Campbell's original, which seems to have been lost, but John Field's copy done in 1812, probably in the Tower of London Drawing Room.

This is the first in a set of six plans produced by Dugal Campbell for the upgrading of Fort William between 1744 and 1746. Contemporary with this one is the plan of the new officers' barracks at shelfmark MS.1646.Z.02/28b. Following on from these two plans are those at shelfmark MS.1646.Z.02/27a, (with a copy at shelfmark MS.1646.Z.02/27b), showing completed work on the ravelin gate, at shelfmark MS.1646.Z.02/28c showing the plans for the Governor's house, at shelfmark MS.1646.Z.02/29a (with copies at shelfmarks MS.1646.Z.02/29b and at MS.1646.Z.02/29c), detailing completion of the long barracks, and at shelfmark MS.1646/02/30a (with a copy at shelfmark MS.1646.Z.02/30b), showing plans for additional barracks, dated 1746.

It was done by John Sedley in 1800, in the Tower of London Drawing Room. There is another copy of this, done in the Drawing Room, in 1799, by Jabez Anderson, at shelfmark MS.1645.Z.02/04b. The original plan is part of a set done by Dugal Campbell to show the progress of the improvements at the castle in the 1740's, (see plan at shelfmark MS.1645.Z.02/5b, with a copy at shelfmark MS.1645.Z.02/5a).

This plan shows building works at the entrance of Edinburgh Castle, including the new walls. It is part of a set done by Dugal Campbell in 1742, to show the progress of the improvements at the castle in the 1740's. It appears to have been copied in the Tower of London Drawing Room, first by Jabez Anderson, in 1799, (at shelfmark MS.1645.Z.02/04b), and secondly by John Sedley in 1800, (at shelfmark MS.1645.Z.02/04c). Another plan from this set is at shelfmark MS.1645.Z.02/5b (with a copy at shelfmark MS.1645.Z.02/5c), and a 1769 copy of a 1740 set of elevations at shelfmark MS.1645.Z.02/5a.

Description
This is a copy of the plan at shelfmark MS.1646.Z.02/30a, which was the final plan in Dugal Campbell's set of six plans for upgrading Fort William between 1744 and 1746. There is no date or signature on this plan, so it is not possible to know whether it is a contemporary copy done by Dugal Campbell or a later copy by someone else. This and its original show later additions to the military plans, as a consequence of the 1745 rebellion by Charles Edward Stuart. The original is dated only three months after the battle of Culloden and details extra barracks to house a greater complement of soldiers, specifically ordered by the Duke of Cumberland.

Description
This detail from a 1720 'Plan and survey of the Gardens of Taymouth' shows the mansion of Taymouth Castle on Loch Tay, Perthshire, at the center of a series of formal gardens, orchards and lawns. The formal gardens beside the house are drawn in detail with elaborate patterns of paths and box hedges around formal flower beds. One of the gardens is a knot garden with small summerhouses or pavilions at the corners. These gardens are of a style which began in Scotland in the 17th century and which continued throughout the 18th century in spite of more informal garden design becoming popular in England.

This fine large coloured manuscript is not signed but the date 1720 has been added in darker ink in a different handwriting. It shows the mansion and policies of Taymouth Castle on Loch Tay, Perthshire. A series of tree-lined vistas focus on the house. The policies are typical of the estates of 18th century improving landowners such as the Earl of Breadalbane. A group of small buildings on the promontory into Loch Tay can be identified as Kenmore. There is a finely drawn sketch of a boat in the Loch. There is also a small elevation drawing of a mansion surrounded by trees.

Description
This manuscript Plan of the Forest of Mamlorne was surveyed and drawn by Colin Foster in 1732. It covers an area of Perthshire south of Loch Lyon and was drawn up for adjoining landowners, the Earls of Breadalbane and Culdarse. The map is coloured with relief of the hills shown in black wash, watercourses in blue and settlements in red. An unusual compass rose suggests that Foster was trying to make the map attractive. The map key includes names of topographical features such as rocks, as well as marking the site of a number of shielings or summer grazing settlements. Some of these are marked as vestiges suggesting they were ruinous.

[Midlothian, Newbigging House, North Esk River, Old Penicuik House, Penicuik, Ravens Hall, Ravensneuk, Scotland]
Description
This map is drawn and annotated in brown ink on a sheet which has been marked into a grid. A grey wash has been used only for the main river, the North Esk. It is faded, and the bottom edge is torn, which makes some of the notes written in that area indecipherable. It shows the land area of the Newbigging House holdings, (which became Old Penicuik House, after the building of the Penicuik House designed by the second Baronet, Sir John Clerk 1686-1755, in 1761), with its divisions and acreage. It is probably associated with the two other maps of Penicuik House from 1687, shown in the images 00002331 and 00002576. This would put it in the era of the first Baronet, Sir John Clerk of Penicuik, who died in 1722, and whose father had first bought the barony in 1646. The damaged note at the bottom of the sheet, apart from giving a linear scale and a square scale for each grid, seems to have notes on the division of the land in to eight parts, and adds that the whole property is of 144 1/4 acres. On the map itself, the land is indeed marked in eight sections, and each one is numbered, with the acreage for each given, with the exception of No.4, which is not so labelled. Gates to each section seem to be indicated by sketches of gate-pillars. The farm of Ravensneuk, and the small building on a hill to the north of the property, called 'Knights la', are shown in rough sketch, and named. The main waterway is noted as 'North Esk', and various other water features such as the 'upper pond', the East Burn and its unnamed branch, the West Burn, the Hurly Burn and the Curswell (burn), on which is a well, 'scobie well'. The entrance to the house area is shown by a sketch of gate pillars and the note 'Entrance'. Other notes are 'way to pennycook park', 'north park', 'bught know' (with a structure on top) and '[?]sons clough', on which stands an unnamed building.
