Description:
A manuscript map of that part of Fife lying east of Falkland and concentrating on the settlement pattern along the coasts and river valleys. It was prepared by John Adair in 1684 and comes from the period when he was preparing a series of maps of east central Scotland for Sir Robert Sibbald. Key harbours and anchorages are marked but this is a map of the landward areas rather than a chart. Although hills are shown conventionally, Largo Law and the Lomond Hills rear up as significant peaks. Adair's eye for detail can be seen in the mapping of Cupar and St. Andrews which identifies its three main streets, the castle and the cathedral precincts. work_description A manuscript map of that part of Fife lying east of Falkland and concentrating on the settlement pattern along the coasts and river valleys.
