Description:
This printed map of West Lothian was engraved by Richard Cooper in Edinburgh in the early 18th century. It is copied from a survey by John Adair (c.1660 - 1718). An early 20th century bookseller's valuation is attached. The map is dedicated to John, Earl of Stair, Lieutenant General and a Privy Councillor. The title cartouche is ornate and flanked by classical mythological figures. Maps of this type were produced for educated patrons who would understand the allusions. Topographical features, roads and settlements are shown. A number of mansions are drawn with enclosed parks. These give an important indication of the rate of enclosure at the period but lack detail.
