Description:
This is a detailed map, on two sheets, of the coast around the Murray (Moray) and Cromarty firths, extending from Dunrobin castle to Lossiemouth. It is neither signed nor dated, but was probably produced between 1724 and 1736. Parts of Invernessshire, Sutherland, Ross and Cromarty, Nairn and Elgin are shown. Many features are marked, including roads, churches and principal seats, as well as natural features such as watercourses, beaches and sandbanks. Now forming part of the collection associated with Lieutenant-General George Wade (1673-1748), held by the National Library of Scotland, this map probably had a military purpose. The area in question was the scene of fighting in the 1745-46 Jacobite rising, with Culloden, the site of the final battle, marked to the east of Inverness.
