Description:
|
This map entitled 'The Isle of Isla &c. Part of Argyl Shire' was engraved and published in 1725 as part of the Atlas of Scotland by Herman Moll (1654?-1732). Moll's Atlas included thirty-six maps of Scotland, many based on Joan Blaeu's pioneering Atlas of 1654. The map shows topographical details such as mountains, forests and the main settlements. The smaller islands are drawn and named but there are few details of rocks or currents. This is in marked contrast to some of the other Hebridean maps. There is a compass with a fleur de lys at the north point and a plain cross to the east. This pattern of compass was used by Moll on a number of the other maps in the atlas.
