This map covers all of Scotland, extending north to the Shetland Islands. It is filled with place names and displays roads, rivers, lakes and basic topography. A note in the top right corner states that "The Dutch begin their Herring Fishery about these islands the 24th of June." The map is embellished by a drape-style title cartouche and surrounded by two hunting scenes. Emanuel Bowen was one of the leading English mapmakers of the 18th century. Unusually, he obtained royal appointments as engraver to both the French and English Royal Courts.
