Description:
This map entitled 'A map of the north west part of the Western Isles' was engraved and published in 1725 as part of Herman Moll's county atlas of Scotland. The map is annotated with considerable information concerning fishing. On Lewis, several antiquities are marked. The 'Thrushel stone' is likely to be Clach an Trushal, a massive standing stone, nearly 6m tall, not far from the great standing stones at Callanish, which date to around 3000BC. The 'stone fort' could be one of a number of brochs, stone tower dwellings built by the Celts between about 100BC and 100AD. Moll was probably referring to Dun Carloway Broch, which still stands to a height of about 10m. work_description This map entitled 'A map of the north west part of the Western Isles' was engraved and published in 1725 as part of Herman Moll's county atlas of Scotland.
