cartographic

[ca. 1795]
The left hand side of this sheet is a brief report on the state of the batteries at Campbeltown, and the right hand side shows an uncoloured sketch of the town and harbour.
It is part of a series of 7 similar sketches and reports, the others being Arbroath, Dunbar, Montrose, Aberdeen, Peterhead and Banff, (at shelfmarks MS.1649.Z.03/56a, MS.1649.Z.03/56b, MS.1649.Z.03/56c, MS.1649.Z.03/56d, MS.1649.Z.03/56e and MS.1649.Z.03/56f). The Dunbar plan and report are contained in a letter to Lord Adam Gordon, dated "Edinburg June 1st 1795", which is signed "Your Lordships Very obedient H. Servant W.G. Lt. R. Engrs",  and has a pencil note "William Gravatt" added at a later date.
The other plans, except the Dunbar one, are fully coloured, and a note with this one indicates that it is an earlier draft of those sent to Lord Adam Gordon. "These are the Sketches there parts are nearly the same which Lord Adam had only these were the first ones".
There is a plan of the batteries at Greenock (at shelfmark MS.1649.Z.03/5g) which may also be part of the series, but has no report with it.
Has no scale statement or directional indicator.
Has watermarks, and "B.O" with upwards arrow, stamped in red.
Shows Campbeltown, Scotland.
