1808.
This is a copy of the 1754 plan by Charles Tarrant, of the building in Perth known as 'the Gowrie House', at shelfmark MS.1647.Z.03/04a. Originally belonging to the Earl of Gowrie, after a chequered career (including being the scene of an attempted assassination of James VI, in 1600), it had been given to the Duke of Cumberland by the town governors, just before the battle of Culloden, in 1746, and had been turned into a military barracks. This 1808  copy is by Alfred Rae, probably done in the Tower of London Drawing Room.
