Notes
In the opinion of A. A. Tait, this drawing relates in time and place or subject to those contained in Adam volume 7.This drawing is a version of that in Adam vol.19/110, but lacks dimensions, scale and black ink framing line. They may both be compared with designs by James Gibbs (1682-1754) in A Book of Architecture (London, 1728, pp.70 and 78), a copy of which was in the library at Blair Adam. William Adam also subscribed to the volume. (See also Adam vol.19/107).
