Antique Map of Scotland and the Isles (1732) — Herman Moll, London, Bowles Edition

Engraved and published in London around 1732 by Herman Moll, one of the most influential British cartographers of the 18th century, this map, A New and Correct Map of Scotland and the Isles, offers a meticulous and artful representation of Scotland and its surrounding islands.

The map details cities, boroughs, universities, and principal roads, with distances computed from town to town, an innovation reflecting Moll’s commitment to both accuracy and public utility.
Dedicated to Charles Douglas, Duke of Queensberry and Dover, and printed by Thomas and John Bowles, this piece embodies the Georgian era’s cartographic elegance, balancing scientific precision with decorative heraldry.

Its ornate dedication cartouche, crowned by the Scottish coat of arms and motto Forward, situates this map within a period of political and cultural redefinition following the 1707 Act of Union.
A timeless artifact of Enlightenment-era cartography, it captures Scotland in the early 18th century, when its geography was first rendered with a distinctly British cartographic hand.
