Description
Scotland has had a uniquely important military history over the last five centuries. Conflict with England in the 16th century, Jacobite rebellions in the 18th century, two world wars and the Cold War have all resulted in significant cartographic activity. In this book two map experts explore the extraordinary rich legacy of Scottish military mapping - fortification plans, reconnaissance mapping, battle plans, military roads, enemy maps showing targets - and discuss unrealised proposals and projected schemes.
