engineer, to the young civilian Roy, was facilitated by that family. The Dundases' patronage of the MilitarySurvey encourages us to understand the project as a private-public partnership and supports contentions that Enlightenment mapping resulted from
complex social networks straddling military and civilian life.

The Soil Survey for Scotland in their mapping of the soils in Orkney, identified a deep top phase of the Bilbster Series. An anthropogenic origin to this soil is proposed and the present study is designed to investigate the particular processes
of formation which have led to the increase in soil depth. Results from transect and grid surveys indicate how the soil is thickest adjacent to old farms. The historical literature suggests a wide range of possible inputs from seaweed and calcareous sands
