[https://www.historicenvironment.scot/archives-and-research/publications/publication/?publicationId=39d6210d-f49e-404b-9f6b-aafc0121dd25 An introduction to recording buildings, A guide to good recording practice], published by Historic Environment Scotland on 5 November 2019, defines hachures as: ‘an effective mode of representing relief on a drawn plan. Their purpose is to indicate the direction and steepness of a slope; the thickness, shape and density of the distribution of hachures on a drawing illustrate the general sense of steepness. Applied properly this method can successfully communicate quite specific shapes of terrain, both natural and man-made.’
