Description:
|
Published by Pieter van der Aa in 'Les délices de la Grande Bretagne & de l'Irlande' by James Beeverell, this map of Scotland shows places and roads. Although the map was included in both editions of the book, this particular copy came from the 1727 edition. The page number 1106 appears at the top right - if it belonged to the earlier edition of 1707 it would read 'Pag'. 1033'. Note the crudely drawn coat of arms depicting the lion rampant supported by two cherubs; this was a common form of decoration at the time and appears on several maps of Scotland.
