[Aberdeenshire, Cairnbulg, Moss of Cairnbulg, Moss of Inverallochy, Moss of Invernorth, Rathen, Scotland]
Description
This plan of 'the Moss of Cairnbulg' was drawn by John Jaffray in 1737 as proof of boundaries, in a dispute between William Moir and a neighboring landowner concerning the moss. The veracity of the map is witnessed by two signatories. It shows the moss and surrounding lands, between Invernorth, Inverallochy and the coastal area of Cairnbulg, south of Fraserburgh, in Aberdeenshire, with annotations concerning the cutting of peat, including the note 'Here the people of Whitecairn did cast Peats formerly'. The cornland or arable field is marked. Below the title, Jaffray notes that the numbers across the map are depths in feet measured by Mr. George Douglas of Whiteriggs and 'Mr. Gordon of Logie Commissr'. They probably record the thickness of the peat, as there is a note that 'The figures with this mark + show where the Moss is deepening'. Below the title box is a note by George Douglas 'This is the plan of the Moss of Cairnbulg referred to [?] [?] [?] [?] proof led by Mr. Moir anent the said Moss [?] May 1737 George Douglas [?]'.

Description
This map of the Orkney Islands and the Shetland Islands was published in 1636 by Henricus Hondius in Amsterdam in an English language version of the Mercator-Hondius Atlas. The original Mercator-Hondius Atlas had reached 20 editions by 1632. Many of the maps in the atlas were printed from engraved copper plates originally made by Mercator which the Hondius family had bought for use in their workshop. It was common for plates to be sold and reused for many years. This particular map was copied from a map printed by the rival map firm of Blaeu in 1630. Each of these family firms had the equipment and craftsmen for all processes including the engraving, printing, colouring and binding.
