Relief shown pictorially.
An earlier version of this map was issued in 1705 by Christopher Browne under the title "A new mapp of Scotland, the Western, Orkney and Shetland Islands".
This later version has an added title ; the dedicatory box below the title cartouche has been removed although traces of the original engraving can still be seen, particularly the name of I. Harris, the engraver, just above Kinaird Head.
Although clearly from the same plate as the 1705 map this version appears slighty smaller, perhaps due to shrinkage caused by mounting on cardboard.
Features include compass rose ; trees.
Dedication: "Most humbly inscrib'd to His Grace the Duke of Hamilton & Brandon &c.".
