Description:
|
This map shows Scotland divided into counties, with the Western Isles and an inset depicting Orkney and Shetland. Longitude is measured from both London (St. Paul's Cathedral) and Ferro. The title of 'The north part of Great Britain' reflects the change in Scotland's status following the Union of Parliaments in 1707. The map was published the following year in 'Fifty-six new and accurate maps of Great Britain begun by Mr. Morden: perfected, corrected and enlarged by Mr. Moll'. Moll's maps show the more accurate outline of Scotland resulting from John Adair's surveys.
