Winner of the Saltire Society Scottish Research Book of the Year award 2012 'Mixes lavish illustration with academic rigour and engaging anecdotes. Those who read this book will never 'read' a map in quite the same way again' --Sunday Herald 'A real treasure of a book' --Alexander McCall Smith in the Mail on Sunday 'A splendiferous treat of text and illustration' --TC Smout, The Herald 'A well crafted message is told of maps, Scotland, and Scottishness, and the connections between them; of how maps helped shape the nation as seen from within and without; and of how maps worked ideologically and in the everyday lives of the Scots to shape identity.' - Journal of Historical Geography. Whilst documents and other written material are obvious resources that help shape our view of the past, maps too can say much about a nation's history. This is the first book to take maps seriously as a form of history, from the earliest representations of Scotland by Ptolemy in the second century AD to the most recent form of Scotland's mapping and geographical representation in GIS, satellite imagery and SATNAV. Compiled by three experts who have spent their lives working with maps, Scotland: Mapping the Nation offers a fascinating and thought-provoking perspective on Scottish history which is beautifully illustrated with complete facsimiles and details of hundreds of the most significant manuscript and printed maps from the National Library of Scotland and other institutions, including those by Timothy Pont, Joan Blaeu and William Roy, amongst many others.
