Description:
A map of Scotland by Herman Moll, published in his 'A System of Geography' (1701) and part of the Marischal Collection. Moll published a great number of maps which proved highly popular, including several of Scottish counties. Based in London, Moll depended on the work of others, such as Robert Gordon, Timothy Pont and John Adair. The outline and latitude are clearly influenced by Gordon's 1654 map though Moll's draughtsmanship is evident. He has also changed the shapes of some lochs and adjusted the northern coastline, most likely through the influence of Adair's surveys. The same map appears in his 'Atlas Manuale' (1709) and in the third edition (1709) of 'A System of Geography' (then titled 'The Compleat Geographer').
