Description
William Hole's 1607 map of the Kingdom of Scotland ('Scotia Regnum') appeared in William Camden's 'Britannia'. Based upon, but less refined than, Mercator's 1595 map, it was the first map of Scotland engraved in England. The map includes most of Scotland with the notable exception of Shetland. It is remarkable for its ornate cartouche and the compressed shape of the country, especially in the north. The Western Isles and Orkney are perhaps overly dominant, and several lochs are enlarged. Hole was a renowned engraver who flourished in the first half of the 17th century. Similar maps in Latin followed in 1617 and 1639 while English editions were produced in 1610 and 1637.

Description
This map is a close copy of Nicoleas Visscher's map of 1692; it shows Scotland with Orkney and the Western Isles. It was copied in 1710 by Johann Baptist Homann for inclusion in his 'Atlas Novus' and was reprinted by his heirs in books as late as 1790. The hand colouring divides Scotland into North and South. Note the wedge shape of the Western Isles; the islands were depicted like this on most maps of Scotland after Blaeu's of 1654, until they were surveyed in more detail by Murdoch Mackenzie in 1750.

Description
A map of 'Scotia' produced by Jodocus Hondius from a map created by Mercator in 1595. This smaller version is found in the 1607 'Atlas Minor Gerardi Mercatoris a I. Hondio' which went through several editions in different languages in the 17th century. Hondius (1563-1612) was a Flanders-born geographer, publisher and engraver who set up in London in 1583. In 1589 he produced the first world map engraved in England and also produced plates for 'Mariners Mirror'. In 1604 he obtained Mercator's plates. The map differs only slightly from Mercator's, namely the cartouche, the calligraphy, the fewer place names, the shapes of some islands (especially Orkney and Islay), the less detailed coastlines, and the treatment of Ireland.

Description
This map shows the fortifications of the armies of James Francis Stuart, who took the town of Perth early in the 1715 rising, and held it until the end. It also shows the seventeenth century Cromwellian citadel. The map was done by Capt. William Horneck, a Board of Ordnance engineer, after the town was recaptured by the government. There are copies of this plan at shelfmarks MS.1647.Z.03/02b and MS.1647.Z.03/02c, in which the term 'by the Victorious Arm of King George' in the title of the original, has become 'by the Victorious Arms of King George', and is later transmuted into 'by the victorious army of King George'. Another contemporary map of the town, showing the Stuart fortifications, by Louis Petit, is at shelfmark MS.1647.Z.03/01d.

Description
This map shows eastern Scotland from the Tay to Helmsdale, in Sutherland. In 1605-1610, Pieter van den Keere published 44 maps of the British Isles, in Amsterdam. They included 6 of Scotland, all of which had been signed by van den Keere, with the Latin version of his name 'Petrus Kaerius'. The maps of Scotland were later published by George Humble, of London, in the 1627 edition of John Speed's 'England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland Described'. Humble had acquired the van den Keere plates, and for the edition of Speed he re-engraved the title plates in English. This map has been extracted from the 1627 edition of Speed and pasted on to a loose sheet. It still has 'Petrus Kaerius' in the The maps in images 00002380 and 00002381 have also been extracted from the Humble 1627 edition of Speed, and pasted on to a loose leaf, although that in image 00002380 was new to the 1627 edition and may not be by van den Keere.
