Description:
Argyle, Lorn, Knapdale and Cowal', a map by Herman Moll from his atlas of Scottish shires (1725). Some areas contain little information, particularly Cowal which is obscured by the title box; other areas overlap the map's border. Much of Knapdale here has an east-west alignment and the map provides a view of Loch Gilp ('Gilb') before the advent of the Crinan Canal. Lochgilphead, a fishing village at the time, is missing though Crinan ('Grinen') is included. The coastlines possess the most detail, while other areas, such as around the north of Loch Awe, are either blank or contracted.
