Plan of Fort William at Inverlochy in its present condition Augst. 1709.
cartographic

1709.
This unsigned plan of Fort William is probably the precursor to the plan at shelfmark MS.1646.Z.02/24b, as this shows the state of Fort William as it was found in 1709, and that one details suggested improvements. The handwriting on both plans seems to be the same. This shows the Governor's house, wooden houses for the officers and for the men, barracks and the powder magazine.
In top left hand corner: title and date handwritten in ink, with below "B.O" stamped in red, with upwards arrow.
