It appears to be a copy of the plan with French references, attributed to Thomas Moore in the original National Library of Scotland accession records, and now missing. This copy was done in 1774 by Robert Roe, who worked in the Tower of London Drawing Room. An unsigned English version is at shelfmark MS.1645.Z.02/3a.
