Description:
This is a manuscript copy of one of the maps from John Adair's atlas 'The Description of the Sea-Coast and Islands of Scotland with Large and Exact Maps for the Use of Seamen', first published by him in Edinburgh in 1688. The other maps in the atlas, and the title page, were also copied in manuscript and are in images 00003242-3246, 00003261and 00003262. There is no certainty as to the origin or purpose of these manuscript copies, which are less detailed than the original printed maps. It is possible that they were drawing and copying exercises for the Tower of London Drawing Room draughtsmen, since they all have the Board of Ordnance stamp. The printed version of this map is uncoloured, but this has been coloured to indicate natural features and settlement features. This shows the coast of Fife from St. Monans to the entry to the Firth of Tay, and then upriver as far as Scone, and then north and east up the coast of Angus to Redhead promontory. It indicates settlements with symbols of churches or houses, shaded red, prominent estates with houses shaded red, some with their boundaries also shown clearly. It indicates waterways, lighthouses, hills, sandbars and windmills. Images of the original printed atlas are on this website (images 00000026-35).
