The Roy Map was the work of rapid reconnaissance rather than a carefully measured topographic survey. Many features beyond selective measured traverses — farms and houses, enclosures and woodland, as well as relief — were sketched in by eye. Visit Lady Victoria Colliery, one of the best and last surviving Victorian collieries in Europe, and now the National Mining Museum of Scotland. Explore the machinery used to mine and take coal to the surface, imagine what a miner’s life was like, and experience the sights and sounds of a working pit on a fantastic tour of the pit head. The Ordnance Survey, officially founded in the 1790s, focused on mapping southern England and then Ireland first, before mapping Scotland comprehensively from the 1840s. Enjoy the whisky distilleries along the NE250 route including Tomintoul, Glenlivet, Royal Lochnagar, and Strathisla. Earlier charts from the 16th century tend to show less detail of the land than later 18th century charts. However, many charts include details of the coastal landscape and nearby settlements.

The Ordnance Survey Six-inch maps cover the whole of Britain including rural and uninhabited areas. This series is popular with readers who are researching local history including topics like railway stations, local travel and changes in local industry. Location:A90 (Diverge From A90 Sb to Merge To Circ. Section) to M90 (Off Slip To A92 to A92 Halbeath Rbt), Southbound Estate maps are primarily associated with the major era of agricultural improvement from around 1760 to 1840. They can illustrate all aspects of estate management including: Time to plan – Plan 1 hour each way to drive Glen Etive + And as long as you want to explore Loch Etive on foot or by boat (if you travel with one…) The Roy Military Survey provides a uniform graphic snapshot of the entire Scottish mainland at a time when the landscape was beginning an era of rapid change. For many Highland areas, it is the most detailed and informative map that survives for the entire 18th century. For all areas, it is the only standard topographic map prior to the Ordnance Survey mapping in the 19th century. Features of interest to an army commander, such as roads, rivers, the positions of villages and hamlets, as well as general land-cover and terrain are remarkably accurate. The designed landscapes around some of the larger country houses and estates are also particularly impressive.
