cartographic

1742.
This is part of a set of plans drawn up by Dugal Campbell, in 1742 to show the progress of the building work at Edinburgh Castle in the previous two years, and that projected for the coming year. There is an unsigned, undated, but probably later copy of this plan at shelfmark MS.1645.Z.02/05c. Other plans in this set are MS.1645.Z.02/04a, (with copies MS.1645.Z.02/04b and MS.1645.Z.02/04c), and MS.1645.Z.02/05a which is a copy done by John Deleny, in the Tower of London Drawing Room, in 1769, of a set of 1740 elevations for the same buildings, to which the plan appears to be missing.
