Description:
This chart is one of five coastal maps which appeared in John Adair's 'The Description of the Sea-Coast and Islands of Scotland' published in Edinburgh in 1703. It shows the Firth of Forth from St. Abb's Head to Queensferry. The chart concentrates on coastal features, but detail is concentrated up-river from Inch Keith. At this time, the east coast trade with the Baltic ports and the Netherlands was still the major element of Scottish commerce. This chart, therefore, depicts the major shipping thoroughfare of late seventeenth century Scotland. Adair had surveyed the coast by 1693, the same year as the appearance of 'Great-Britain's Coasting Pilot' by Greenvile Collins, but it took another ten years for Adair's charts to be published.
