Description: 1851 Black Map of Northern Scotland WE SELL ONLY ORIGINAL ANTIQUE MAPS - NOT REPRODUCTIONS Title: Scotland. Description: A fine example of Adam and Charles Black's 1851 map of northern Scotland. The map covers the northern part of Scotland from Blair Athol to the island of Hoy (part of the Orkney Islands) in the north. An inset map on the upper right quadrant details the Orkney Islands. This map was issued in the midst of Scotland Industrial Revolution, in which it emerged as a regional center fo engineering and shipbuilding. In 1843, against the backdrop of the Industrial Revolution, during which Scotland flourished, the Church of Scotland witnessed a division in which many of its ministers, following a decade long conflict, broke away to form the Free Church of Scotland. Throughout, the map identifies various cities, towns, rivers, lakes, roadways and an assortment of additional topographical details. Map is hand colored in pink, green, blue and yellow pastels to define boundaries. The map is issued as plate no. 9 in Black's General Atlas.

Sometimes duty or tax is due in China, but is seems very random. Hong Kong, Singapore, Korea, and Taiwan have never assessed duty on a map we shipped. Maps shipped to the UK should be duty free as educational materials, but from time to time duty of 5% is assessed incorrectly by the UK customs agents.
