Note: Chubb p. 388 no xxxii; Moir I p. 129 & II p. 154 no 11; Tooley p. 91. The publication of this atlas described by Tooley as "the finest county atlas of Scotland in the nineteenth century" was spread over the years 1820 to 1830 with the maps being sold in loose sheets when completed. Its cost lead to the publisher's bankruptcy. The scale of the maps of almost one and a half miles to an inch resulted in the most detailed map of Scotland prior to Ordnance Survey. An interesting feature is the provision on the maps of the names of the various surveyors and others involved in their compilation attesting to their accuracy. A corrected edition was brought out in 1869 by Lizars in 4to.
