Description:
A small map of Scotland and its surroundings from 1683 by the French engineer and geographer Allain Manesson-Mallet (1630-1706). Latitude is included and longitude is measured from the Canary Islands; the scale is c.100 miles to the inch. The map comes from the Marischal Collection in the National Library of Scotland. Rather than burghs, the map highlights some hills and lochs, and several rivers. It shows much of Ireland and England, and places Shetland on the main map. The shape of Shetland seems only conjectural, while the Faeroes are placed exceptionally close to Scotland. Additionally, an unusual dotted line runs from 'Leatte L.' (possibly Loch Awe) to the Firth of Tay. The map was published in 'Description de l'Univers'; a German edition followed in 1686.
