A Plan and section of Fort George with part of the town of Inverness [about 1730]
cartographic

[1730?]
This plan of the town of Inverness and Fort George is undated and unsigned, but it is of a similar period to the 1730 plan of Fort George at Inverness, by John Romer, at shelfmark MS.1646.Z.02/33a, and his 1732 plan at shelfmark MS.1646.Z.02/34a, and its contemporary copy at shelfmark MS.1646.Z.02/34b. The handwriting on this plan could possibly be the same handwriting as on the plan at shelfmark MS.1646.Z02/34b. It cannot post-date 1746, as Fort George, Inverness was destroyed by the Jacobite army at that date, and was rebuilt at Ardersier.
In top right hand corner: hand printed in cartouche designed as a curtain, title and "Explanation", with list of code numbers and the features on the plan to which they refer, with library shelfmark written in pencil above.
At right side of plan: "B.O"with upwards arrow, stamped in red.
In bottom right hand corner: scale statement "A Scale of 40 Feet to an Inch for both Plan and Section", with 196.85 mm. scale bar graded [10]-[0]-10-290.
Has watermarks.
