I hope lis-maps readers will forgive this brief promotional e-mail ( for
information purposes... ) that Birlinn, in association with the National
Library of Scotland, have just published a limited facsimile edition of
Bartholomew's 'Survey Atlas of Scotland', 1912.
The atlas contains introductory texts on Scotland's history, geology,
climate and population, a history of Scottish cartography, thematic maps
of Scotland, 45 large topographical maps at half-inch to the mile
covering the whole of Scotland, and town plans of the major cities. In
addition we have included the thematic mapping (mammals, birds,
reptiles, deer forests, and languages of Scotland) that appeared in the
1895 edition but not in the 1912 edition, so that all the maps produced
for the two editions of this great atlas can be seen in one place. For
those wishing to browse, there is a version of the Bartholomew Survey
Atlas online at: http://maps.nls.uk/atlas/bartholomew/
The facsimile atlas includes two introductory essays, one on the atlas's
creator, John George Bartholomew, and the other on the making of the
Survey Atlas, using material from the Bartholomew Archive.
With this publication, Birlinn/NLS have completed the 'Great Atlas of
Scotland' publishing project, with limited edition facsimiles of the
Blaeu Atlas of Scotland (1654), the Roy Military Survey (1747-55), and
John Thomson's atlas (1832).

at a standard price of £100, but if you order before 31 December, there
