Description:
|
This manuscript map of south-west Scotland is the work of John Adair and was probably drawn about 1695 when he was surveying the Solway coast. It delineates the coast from the Clyde estuary to Carlisle but, concentrating on coastal features, no offshore soundings or anchorages are marked. Very few features are sketched - only the policies of Kelburne House are shown - but the depiction is a marked improvement on Adair's earlier map of the area, particularly along the Solway coast. The map was bound into a copy of Adair's 'The Description of the Sea-Coast and Islands of Scotland' (1703) now belonging to Glasgow University Library. Its discovery was an important addition to the surviving body of his work.
