Description:
A map from part of an engraved and printed mid-18th century Pocket Atlas of Europe. This shows Scotland including the Western Isles and Orkney Islands but not Shetland. The outline appears to be based on that printed in Blaeu's Atlas of 1654. Physical features such as the mountain ranges and the rivers are shown symbolically. Settlements are marked, but with very few in the north, west or islands. The position of some of the place names is inaccurate, for example Bog of Gicht (Gight) is shown far nearer the coast than it is.
