Old Map of Scotland in 1851 by J. Tallis - Vintage Wall Art, Antique Map of Scottish Counties

This is a highly decorative old map of Scotland, published by John Tallis in 1851, one of the finest mapmakers of the time. All of Scotland is visible here, including the Shetland Isles, Orkney Isles and the Hebrides archipelago. Lovely engravings adorn the edges of the map, including a view of Edinburgh, deer stalking, Scott's Monument, and Brig O' Doon and Burns' Monument.

This map looks great at all sizes: 12x16 inches (31x41cm), 18x24 inches (45.5x61cm) and 24x36 inches (61x91.5cm), but it looks even better when printed large.

I can create beautiful, large prints of this map up to 37x50 inches (95x125cm). Please get in touch if you're looking for larger, customised or different framing options.

Many other features of Scotland are easy to find on this map, including Loch Ness, Loch Lomond, the Firth of Forth, Mull of Kintyre, The Minch and more.

Almost every town and city of Scotland is shown on this map, and some villages too. Inverness, Portree, Dundee, Aberdeen, Dumfries and others.

The map was originally hand coloured, outlining the borders of each county. All of the modern Scottish counties are visible on this map, including: Aberdeenshire, Angus (Forfar), Argyll, Ayrshire, Banffshire, Berwickshire, Buteshire, Caithness, Clackmannanshire, Dumfriesshire, Dunbartonshire,
East Lothian, Fife, Inverness-shire, Kincardineshire, Kinross-shire, Kirkcudbrightshire, Lanarkshire, Midlothian, Moray, Nairnshire, Orkney, Peebleshire, Perthshire, Renfrewshire, Ross and Cromarty, Roxburghshire, Selkirkshire, Shetland, Stirlingshire, Sutherland, West Lothian, Wigtownshire.

This would make a wonderful birthday, Christmas, Father's Day, work leaving or housewarming gift for someone from Scotland or has Scotland in their heart.

This map is available as a giclée print on acid free archival matte paper, or you can buy it framed. The frame is a nice, simple black frame that suits most aesthetics. Please get in touch if you'd like a different frame colour or material. My frames are glazed with super-clear museum-grade acrylic (perspex/acrylite), which is significantly less reflective than glass, safer, and will always arrive in perfect condition.
