Description:
Surveyed by John Adair, a mathematician from Edinburgh, by 1698, this chart was subsequently printed by Samuel Thornton in 1709 and published in an atlas. Adair surveyed most of Scotland and its coasts, with funding from the Scottish Parliament. Depicting the coast from St Abb's Head to the River Neath north of Montrose, it includes in some detail the 'Edinburgh Firth', now known as the Firth of Forth, and the River Tay as far as it is navigable, up to Perth. The map gives depths, and shows rocks and anchorages. Inland hills are shown where they are visible from sea and only coastal place names are given.
