Description:
A map of 'Galloway Contains The Shires of Wigton and Kirkcudbright', by Herman Moll from his 1725 atlas. Coloured lines show the coastline and the shires' borders with Ayrshire and Dumfriesshire. The map divides the area into three sections: East, West and Mid-Galloway. Galloway ('the land of the stranger Gaels') was a stronghold of the 17th-century Covenanters, aided by its mountainous and isolated regions. These are apparent in Moll's map which shows much detail. Until the sixteenth century, Gaelic was spoken widely in the area, particularly the west. Moll was a skilled copperplate engraver who probably learned his trade in northern Germany.
