This sheet shows John Romer's plans, elevations and sections of the barracks at Kiliwhimen in 1723, with a plan and elevation for a cistern. It is a copy of the plan at  shelfmark MS.1647.Z.03/12a, which accompanied John Romer's plan at shelfmark MS.1647.Z.03/11a (copy at shelfmark MS.1647.Z.03/11b), which also shows the barracks at Kiliwhimen and at Inversnaid at the same date. There is another copy of this at shelfmark MS.1647.Z.03/12b. The original plans for the four Highland barrack forts, Bernera, Kiliwhimen, Inversnaid and Ruthven, were drawn up in 1717 by James Smith, who was the royal chief surveyor, but were actually executed by John Bastide and Andrew Jelfe, and then John Romer, between 1718 and 1724.
