Description:
A map of 'The north part of Great Britain' by Thomas Bakewell which appeared in Thomas Taylor's 'England exactly described or a guide to travellers' in 1715. Guidebooks of this time usually only included general maps of Scotland, and county maps of England and Wales. It is based on maps published by Herman Moll and Sutton Nicholls a few years earlier and is one of the earlier depictions of roads in Scotland. The roads are not shown accurately but rather as straight lines between settlements, with mileages. The title reflects the recent change in Scotland's status from being an independent country following the Union of Parliaments in 1707.
