Plan of the fort barrack of Bernera in Glen Elg 1719 [copy] /
Bastide, John Henri,active 1718-1759.
cartographic

1719.
This appears to be a copy of the map at shelfmark MS.1647.Z.03/06b, which shows the area of Glen Elg bay, where the new barracks at Bernera were being built, in 1719. As well as the land around Bernera and the settlement of Glenelg, it shows Kyle Rhea and part of the Isle of Skye. There is another copy at shelfmark MS.1647.Z.03/06d which is less complete and less correct.
In top right hand corner: library shelfmark written in pencil.
At right hand side of sheet: written in ink, title and year, "Explanation", with list of code letters and features on the map to which they refer, scale bar graded [0]-50-100-100-1000 Feet, and "B.O" with upwards arrow, stamped in red.
In bottom right hand corner: written in ink "B.5. F", with the rest torn off.
Has watermarks.
