A New Map of Scotland - 1801

[figheadair]

Picked up a copy John Cary's 1801 A New Map of Scotland recently and just collected it from the framers. Not the best pictures but definitely delighted to have this on my wall. It's a collection of four separate plates mounted as one sizable 40x35 map and nicely compliments the early 1716 one I picked up last year. Fascinating to see how things change over the intervening 100 odd years and how much Scotland developed during those years.

The title plate.
