Description:
This is the fourth coastal chart published in John Adair's atlas, 'The Description of the Sea-Coast and Islands of Scotland' in 1703. It depicts the east coast from Red Head to the mouth of the North Esk and concentrates on the Montrose Basin. The detailed plan of Montrose, which clearly identifies the tollbooth, church and mill, reflects the town's position as a major port trading with the Baltic. This depiction contrasts with the empty appearance of the rest of the map which is characterised by coastal sand dunes running north to the Esk. This is the only dated map in the atlas, being engraved in 1693 by James Clark, but the empty title crest gives it an unfinished appearance.
