Description:
This manuscript map of West Lothian is one of a series of county surveys made by the Scottish cartographer John Adair (1660-1718) and is thought to date from 1681. It concentrates on identifying features lying between the rivers Avon and Almond and is most detailed in showing settlement along the Forth coast. In particular, it provides a careful depiction of Linlithgow, its palace, park and loch. Other features noted include several mills, the various anchorages near Bo'ness and estate policies such as Kinneil. Careful scrutiny shows that many place-names have been re-written or corrected, suggesting subsequent editing and, certainly, Richard Cooper engraved a map of the county 'survey'd by Mr. J. Adair F.R.S.' in the late 1730s.
