REFERENCE: CITY ARCHITECT'S PLAN STORE
Drawer No 28 -contains an old plan of portion of Old Town between Tron Church and Adam Square (noted as produced at meeting of Works Committee of Improvement Trust on 9th October 1872, signed by David Cousin). The date of the plan would appear to be just before the building of the South Bridge was begun in 1785 as red lines on the plan indicate the proposed original line of the Bridge.
Photostat copy of the above plan is held in the NMRS.
