Description:
Advertised in 1679 as a 'New Map of Scotland with the roads' this map was first printed in London by Robert Greene and William Berry. This edition, which bears Greene's name only, must date to between 1679 and 1689 when he died. In the late 17th century there was a growing demand for road maps with the introduction of the postal services and of the turnpike road system in England. Turnpike roads were not established in Scotland until the 18th century. Few roads are shown in the mountainous north and west. The main roads are in the south with a coastal route along the east coast. There would have been many tracks only passable on foot, riding, or with packhorses.
