“The Early views and Maps of Edinburgh” says Robert Kirkwood’s splendid large map “is the finest plan of Edinburgh of the early part of the 19th Century”. It has not been reprinted before, and original copies are rare. It is not coloured. As well as the streets and houses the map includes: gardens, wells, quarries, hills, dovecots, ponds, burns and lochs, also proposed canals, roads and harbours. Ideal for everyone interested in local and family history.

These maps COULD be folded but are best left UNFOLDED for display purposes*
