Description:
A manuscript map of 1683 by the Scottish cartographer, John Adair (1660-1718) showing southern Perthshire from Loch Earn to the Carse of Gowrie and giving a detailed depiction of Strathearn, Stormount and the lower Tay. The area of information is bounded by the Ochil Hills and the Grampian Mountains which are identified in conventional form as a series of rounded mounds. Attention is given to mapping settlements, churches, mills, roads and bridges. Large estates, such as Drummond, are shown in detail, as are the towns of Perth and Dundee, the former with an unidentified fort on the South Inch. This map was part of a commission from the Privy Council to map the shires of Scotland.
