Description
Scotland has played a significant role in military history over the past five centuries, with various conflicts and events resulting in a rich legacy of cartographic activity. This book explores the story of Scottish military mapping, featuring a range of maps and plans that showcase the country's defences and fortifications. The book delves into the world of military mapping, including fortification plans, reconnaissance maps, battle plans, and tactical maps, as well as plans for military roads and routeways. It also examines unrealised proposals and projected schemes, providing a unique insight into the country's military history. The maps themselves are visually striking and attractive, and have been carefully selected for the stories they tell about defending the country. By exploring the maps and plans that have shaped Scotland's military history, this book offers a fascinating look at the country's role in conflict and defence over the centuries.
