About MeInformation from Cairt, the newsletter of the Scottish Maps Forum, January 2005
"John Home (1733/4 - 1809). A surveyor who had let a fairly itinerant life working for many different landowners. In the 1760s he was resident in Banff, Aberdeen and Montrose, moving to Edinburgh in 1772-84, back north to Stonehaven until 1787, and Pluscarden until 1792 before finally returning to Edinburgh. In many ways, he exemplified the broader role his profession had in the reorganisation of the landscape at this time, introducing new agricultural methods, reclaiming marsh and moorland, dividing commonty or common land amongst private owners, straightening roads, building bridges, planning new villages and promoting rural manufacturing."
