    It was Kitchin who engraved John Elphinstone's map of Scotland in 1745, and its from that wealth, which advanced the accuracy of Scottish mapping that he would later publish this fine work for Scotland. This rare pocket atlas shows Scotland and nearby major islands in 32 maps (along with a overall key map) each is a concise engraving that shows cities, towns, rivers and general topography, some also show the major roads through the area.

    Maps are in very good condition, unfoxed and with nice margins. The binding has been restored with original boards, new end papers and spine. The decorative spine has a gilt spine and embossed blooming thistles pressed into the leather. 33 maps each image size is approximately 6 x 6.75
