Description:
|
This is a 'proof' copy from an engraved plate of a map of Clackmannanshire, as can be discerned from the visible engraver's lines. It is the work of John Adair (1660-1718). It shows an area lying south of the Ochils, depicted as a solid rampart of hills, to the River Forth at Kincardine. Settlements, mills, bridges and moor land are identified. A sketch of Stirling set at a right angle to the map shows the castle and its bridge across the Forth. This map was shown to the Privy Council in early 1681 as an example of Adair's work as part of an application for financial support but its style is more akin to the maps in the Blaeu atlas.
