Description
A large and colourful map of Scotland, first published in the 1760s by Carington Bowles, at the end of the project to build Military Roads across Scotland. It was started by General George Wade in 1724 because of the continuing Jacobite threat and ended with the death of Major William Caulfeild in 1767.
On this example the original publisher's name has been erased but, unusually, Laurie and Whittle have not added their names. The map most often appears in atlases in two sections, with outline colour; full-colour examples such as this are uncommon.
