Abstract
- Outline hand color map. Relief shown by contours and spot heights. Depth shown by isolines. Includes index maps, legend, and note: N.B. "The representation on this map of the roads, tracks or footpath is no evidence of the existence of right of way".<br />The one-inch first edition of Scotland was based on larger scale surveys of 1843-1878. This set is the second edition, produced from first national revision of 1894-95. Edward Stanford assembled the 131 sheets into three bound volumes with title page, index, and extensive and beautiful coloring. Fair Isle was not revised, and thus sheet 123 was not issued in this edition, but is present, as a first edition sheet. A national revision of 1894-1895 was published in 1896-1898, as second edition, while a further revision of 1901-1910, published 1903-1912, was known as the 'Third Edition. This edition bound in 3 volumes, each with index map mounted inside front cover. Volume 1: Sheets 1-41. Volume 2: sheets 42-87, including sheet 57A. Volume 3: sheets 88-131, Engraved maps, all are backed with linen in two halves, with a 1 mm gap between each half. Outline hand colored. The coloring has green for parks and estates, blue for inland water and coasts, red for buff roads and railways, and different pastel colors for county boundaries. Each volume bound in red leather covers, with title for each volume " Vol. ... Ordnance Survey of Scotland. 1901".
