Description:
This manuscript map by John Adair is centred on the town of Stirling and the flood-plain of the lower River Forth. It probably dates from 1685 when Adair was working for Sir Robert Sibbald, providing maps for an intended new atlas of Scotland. It identifies settlements, churches, bridges and mosses - in particular, Kincardine and Flanders Moss - but the information content is far less than on other Adair drafts. Like many maps of this period, relief is shown by the convention of drawing series of whale-backed mounds in parallel lines which dominate the map. The numbered grid which covers this sheet suggests that this may have been a final draft prepared for engraving. work_description This manuscript map by John Adair is centred on the town of Stirling and the flood-plain of the lower River Forth.
