About this map
This artwork is cropped from Sheet 12 · Central Perthshire, 1903, focusing the original cartography around Ben Lomond rather than reproducing the complete historic sheet.
Bartholomew developed the Half-Inch series for people who needed to understand a region at a glance, with transport routes and physical geography given particular emphasis. The maps were not simple reductions of Ordnance Survey sheets: Bartholomew selected and added information, including route categories useful to travellers.
Its 1:126,720 scale, two miles to the inch, sits between detailed local survey mapping and much smaller national maps. Look for the relationship between settlements and routes, and for the way the relief colours turn the surrounding terrain into part of the map's story. This particular source was published in 1903.
