Excerpt from The Book of the Old Edinburgh Club, 1922, Vol. 11 The next consideration was to determine the preparation and scale of the map. Edgar's published maps were too small for the purpose; later and larger scaled surveys were not accurate enough; and at length it was determined to take the 1851 Ordnance Survey for the basis, and thus to secure accuracy, the earlier surveys of parts altered or cleared away being used to supplement and correct the later. The map thus constructed is over 75 feet long, but it has been reproduced on a reduced. Scale by Messrs. Bartholomew, so that it would not be too bulky for our volume, or unwieldy for the student.

Excerpt from The Book of the Old Edinburgh Club, Vol. 4 Newton Castle till about the fourteenth year Of his age, when he was sent to Edinburgh to complete his education. At an early age he appears to have shown a remarkable aptitude in arithmetic and mathematics, and his talent in this respect was the means of bringing him into prominence when only eighteen years Old, when he was entrusted with an important series Of calculations for the Committee Of the Scottish Parliament, bearing upon the rating and valuation Of the country, during the negotiations with England for the union Of the two kingdoms. The examination Of the national finances was a work Of great responsibility, and was carried through with much ability. Sir John Clerk Of Penicuik, a leading Whig, and one Of the Commissioners appointed to arrange the terms Of Union, mentions in his Memoirs, under date 1704, that he framed two Reports to the Scottish Parlia ment, and that in the drawing up Of these One George Drummond was my amanuensis. He was then about eighteen years Of age, and wrote a good hand.' SO well and carefully was this work executed, that in recognition Of his ability, on the passing Of the Act Of Union, Drummond, on 16th July 1707, received the important appointment Of accountant-general Of Excise, a new branch Of revenue. In consequence Of the introduction Of the English system, and the unpopularity Of the Union, much tact and skill were required in the management, but in working it out Drummond proved himself quite equal to the Situation. The Excise Office in Edinburgh at the time was situated close to the Nether Bow Port, on the north side Of the High Street.

So far we had been working round the outside of the south end of the original Tower, and we were naturally led on with keen interest to try to trace the interior.

These no doubt came strictly speaking under the head of the leges that the beneficiaries were bound to obey and which the patrons had to see carried out. A some what delicate situation was in this way after the Reformation created, and on the resultant difficulties there are some remarks in the paper in the Transactions of the Ecclesiological Society, vol.
