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 of a small garden pavilion is a simpler version of that in Adam vol.19/112. They may both be compared with the series of similar pavilions by James Gibbs (1682-1754) in A Book of Architecture (London, 1728), a copy of which was in the library at Blair Adam. William Adam also subscribed to the volume.
