1719.
One of a set of five plans of Edinburgh Castle, the others being at shelfmarks MS.1645.Z.02/01a, MS.1645.Z.02/01b, MS.1645.Z.02/01d and MS.1645.Z.02/01e. This sheet shows plans of barracks, carriage sheds, powder magazine, storeroom, malt kiln and "laboratoire", mainly on the 1st and 2nd. floors, with elevations of some areas.
A plan of proposed improvements to this powder magazine is found on the plans and sections of Kiliwhimen and Inversnaid Barracks at shelfmark MS.1647.Z.03/11a, (copy at shelfmark MS.1647.Z.03/11b), attributed to John Romer, but probably drawn by Thomas Moore. "Laboratoire" is probably a laboratory attached to the gunners' sections, as this term is used in connection with the gunners' and arsenal areas on other maps of the period, and earlier.
