Description:
This 19th century manuscript chart is a copy of a chart which appeared in Capt. Greenvile (Grenville) Collins's book of charts 'Great Britain's Coasting Pilot' (London: Richard Mount, 1693). Collins began a survey of the coasts of England and the east coast of Scotland in 1681, at the direction of Charles II and the Admiralty, which took him seven years. The charts were first published separately, as they were completed. This chart covers the coast of the Moray Firth from the mouth of the Findhorn river eastwards to what is now Covesea, also taking in the fishing port of Findhorn and the then uninhabited Burghead. It marks the depths of the sea in fathoms both in the coastal areas and further out. A structure at 'Cousey Point' (Covesea) may be a beacon or early lighthouse. The printed original of this is on image 00000533.
