216 MAP OF SCOTLAND. 



hibited in a lively manner. Such a work would be 

 well received. 



As I have seen no modern map of Scotland, I 

 cannot pretend to say how accurate or particular any 

 such may be : but this I know, that the best old 

 maps of that kingdom are very defective. 



The great obvious defect that I have remarked in 

 all maps of Scotland that have fallen in my way is, a 

 want of a coloured line, or stroke, that shall exactly 

 define the just limits of that district called the High- 

 lands. Moreover, all the great avenues to that moun- 

 tainous and romantic country want to be well dis- 

 tinguished. The military roads formed by General 

 Wade, are so great and Roman-like an undertaking, 

 that they well merit attention. My old map, Moll's 

 map, takes notice of Fort William ; but could not 

 mention the other forts that have been erected long 

 since ; therefore a good representation of the chain 

 of forts should not be omitted. 



The celebrated zig-zag up the Coryarich must not 

 be passed over. Moll takes notice of Hamilton and 

 Drumlanrig, and such capital houses ; but a new 

 survey, no doubt, should represent every seat and 

 castle remarkable for any great event, or celebrated 

 for its paintings, &c. Lord Breadalbane's seat and 

 beautiful policy are too curious and extraordinary to 

 be omitted. 



The seat of the Earl of Eglintoun, near Glasgow, 

 is worthy of notice. The pine plantations of that 

 nobleman are very grand and extensive indeed.
