Scotland has had a uniquely important military history over the last five centuries. In addition to plans, elevations and views, they also discuss unrealised proposals and projected schemes. 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.
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
