About this map This is a beautiful old geological map of Scotland. One of the first geology maps of Scotland, & also one of the highest quality & most accurate maps from the 1800s. It was originally put together by Archibald Geikie (director of the Geological Survey of Scotland) & published by AK Johnston in 1876. It is incredibly rare to have a full colour, highly detailed map of Scotland from the 1800s. The detail is really quite astonishing. This is one of the most colourful & interesting antique maps of Scotland that you'll ever find. Every part of Scotland is clearly visible in this map - from the Shetland Isles, to Orkney, to the Hebrides & Skye. Loch Ness is here, as is Loch Lomond. The interesting geological formations between Glasgow & Edinburgh. Even the rather interestingly coloured tip of the Mull of Kintyre... Almost every town & city of Scotland is shown on this map, & some villages too. Inverness, Portree, Dundee. You can even zoom in & see the jutting prominence of the Quiraing on Skye. This map was originally dissected into 16 regions, mounted on linen, & then folded up into a black leather book. The ideal size for this map is 24x36 inches (60x90cm), but I have two smaller versions at 16x20 & 18x24 inches (40x50cm & 45x60cm). I can also print extra large versions of this map up to 80 inches (200cm) tall if you have a suitably large space for it (a hotel, office, or very large empty wall space at home). It's a stunning map at larger sizes. The model in the listing images is holding the 24x36 inch (60x90cm) version of this map. You can buy just the map, or you can buy a framed version. The framed version has a nice, simple black frame that will make the map pop out nicely on your wall. Please get in touch if you'd like a framed version of one of the
