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, 20th-century defences and
the two world wars, as well as the Cold War, all resulted in
significant cartographic activity. In this book two map experts
explore the extraordinarily rich legacy of Scottish military
mapping, including fortification plans, reconnaissance mapping,
battle plans, plans of military roads and routeways, tactical maps,
plans of mines, enemy maps showing targets, as well as plans
showing the construction of defences. In addition to plans,
elevations and views, they also discuss unrealised proposals and
projected schemes. Most of the maps - some of them reproduced in
book form for the first time - are visually striking and
attractive, and all have been selected for the particular stories
they tell about both attacking and defending the country.
