A talk on mapping Scotland's mountains with the NLS's Chris Fleet

A forthcoming online event from the National Library of Scotland on Thursday 18th November at 5pm-6pm:

A talk on mapping Scotland's mountains with the National Library of Scotland's Map Curator, Chris Fleet

About this event

In this fully illustrated talk, Map Curator Chris Fleet looks at how Scotland’s impressive mountains have been represented by map-makers over time. From line drawings to LiDAR, the story reflects changing knowledge and survey techniques, as well as map drafting and printing technologies, but it also reflects more significant changes in the perceptions of mountains and their importance over time.
