The North Part of Great Britain called Scotland map is taken from a hand coloured engraving by Herman Moll (1714, third imprint). This spectacular map has two side panels featuring prominent towns and places of interest. The inscriptions read ...
 
'To the Right Honouable JOHN Earl of MARR, one of Her Majesty's PRINCIPAL SECRETARIES of STATE. This MAP is most Humbly Dedicated by your Lordship's most humble Servent H. Moll Geographer.' 'The North Part of Great Britain called Scotland. with Considerable Inprovements and many Remarks not Extant in any Map..According to the Newest and Exact Observations. By Herman Moll. Geographer, 1714.'

'Its manifest by this Map which is founded upon undouted Authority, how easy it would be to settle the most advantageous Fishery in the World here, and also with a small Charge to make Rivers navigable, for Carrying timber to the Sea side, for there grows excellent good Fir & c in these parts so that if things were rightly managed, there would be no occasion to go to Norway for Wood or to New-found-land for fish; seeing North Britain can Plentifully furnish us with both.'
