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

[1719]
This appears to be an initial draft of the map at shelfmark MS.1647.Z.03/06b. This is less complete, lacking the "Explanation" and the year, and has Kyle Rhea incorrectly labelled as "Loch Aissh" [Loch Alsh], which has been scored out in pencil at a later date and "The Kyle" added. The map at shelfmark MS.1647.Z.03/06b is correctly labelled. There is another correct copy at shelfmark MS.1647.Z.03/06c, which is probably a later production. These maps show the area of Glen Elg bay, where the new barracks at Bernera were being built, in 1719, Kyle Rhea and part of the Isle of Skye. This map has a compass rose.
