Description:
|
A map of part of the Scottish Borders from Moll's 1725 Atlas. The areas shown include Selkirkshire and the north part of Roxburghshire. Unusually, the map spills over the left side of the frame. The map shows much detail, including encircled and squared-off areas (e.g., near Ancrum and 'Langetoun') and wooded areas. A road runs from England, past Jedburgh and to the north via Kelso. Watersheds are presented in some detail though with simplified alignments. A dotted but uncoloured line separates Selkirkshire ('Ettrick Forest') from Roxburghshire. Kelso was probably the largest burgh at the time with about 2,500 inhabitants; Jedburgh had about 2,000, Selkirk 1,000 and Hawick 750.
