Description:
|
This map of 'Scotia Regnum', the Kingdom of Scotland, was produced by the Flanders-born Gerard Mercator in 1595. The map is one of three he did of Scotland at this date. Mercator was seen by his contemporaries as the outstanding cartographer of his age. This map provided the basic outline for maps of Scotland for about the next sixty years. The 'modern' outline of Scotland is recognisable from this map, but the spelling of some of the place names suggests that Mercator was using others' earlier maps to fill in some of the detail. The rivers and the hills are not accurate but suggest the general nature of the country.
