Description:
|
This map entitled 'The North P[art] of Perthshire containing Athol and Broadalbin' was engraved and published in 1725 by Herman Moll (1654?-1732) as part of his county atlas of Scotland. It shows roads, topographical features and settlements. Several of the mountains are named, for example Bin Tork (An Torc) and Binchouldach (Beinn a' Chuallaich) near Loch Rannoch. However, there is little attempt to depict individual shapes, the hills remaining stylised mounds with hatching on the east side. The difference between the Lowland settlement patterns of eastern Perthshire and this western area is well marked, as there are no enclosed estates indicated. Settlements lie quite closely clustered along the river valleys.
