Description:
|
Map showing most of Scotland, from the border with England to just south of Tain, and including the Western Isles, with part of northern England and Ireland. It was originally published by Rumold Mercator in the third part of 'Atlas sive Cosmographicae Meditationes de Fabrica Mundi et Fabricati Figura', after the death of his father Gerhard Mercator, in 1595, along with two other maps 'Scotia Regnum', and 'Scotiae Regnum' (the northern part) (q.v.). This is from a French edition, and possibly dated 1630.
