National Library of Scotland uploads early maps of Great Britain and Scotland

The National Library of Scotland's maps platform (https://maps.nls.uk) has added just under 200 early maps of Great Britain and Scotland to its site:

We have added online 190 early printed maps of Great Britain, Scotland and more detailed places within these countries. This includes 78 maps of Scotland as a whole, 45 maps of Great Britain and Ireland, 38 town plans and 11 county maps. These maps are often very attractively coloured, variant states of these important early maps, many of which published within Dutch atlases of the 16th and 17th centuries. These maps are all from our Charlotte Smith collection, acquired by the Library in 2017.  

A spreadsheet of the new additions is available at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vRXbMQ8JoGby995LB-8XLn138p0Ky4m7SesAi5p15MfINCfiWhTWpoz4bbKPA_oDIeBhAZWH-8m9bfw/pubhtml
