Digital downloads of SIgnet Library’s map collection now available at NLS

The Signet Library’s collection of maps and atlases is one of the largest in private hands in Scotland, from eighteenth-century to early twenty-first. The most delicate items are cared for by the National Library of Scotland and 280 of them have recently been digitised.

They include national and county maps, town maps – especially of Edinburgh – estate maps, maps designed for navigation, early road maps and a superb range of Scottish-made atlases from the earliest times through to today. The maps can be viewed, downloaded and prints ordered here.
