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, 00003260 and 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. It shows the coasts of Angus and Aberdeenshire, from Redhead promontory to Aberdeen. It indicates settlements and prominent estates with symbols of churches or houses, shaded red. It also indicates waterways, hills, sandbars and windmills. The towns of Montrose, Aberdeen and Old Aberdeen are shaded red, with the main buildings indicated. Images of the original printed atlas are on this website (images 00000026-35). The printed original of the title page is image 00000035. work_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.
