Whilst documents and other written material are obvious resources that help shape our view of the past, maps too can say much about a nation's history. This book takes maps seriously as a form of history, from the earliest representations of Scotland by Ptolemy in the second century AD to the most recent form of Scotland's mapping and geographical representation in GIS, satellite imagery and SATNAV.
