A mug featuring Bartholomew's distinctive Half-Inch mapping of Loch Leven and the surrounding area.

What this map covers

Alongside Loch Leven, the mapped area includes Glenrothes, Ballingry, Kinross and Milnathort and the landscape around Benarty Hill and Bishop Hill.

About this map

This artwork is cropped from Sheet 13 · Perth & Dundee, 1903, focusing the original cartography around Loch Leven rather than reproducing the complete historic sheet.

Complete coverage of Great Britain was achieved by 1903, and the series became closely associated with touring and cycling in the early twentieth century. The Half-Inch series was designed to make a wide area useful to the traveller, showing how settlements, routes, and terrain fitted together rather than concentrating on property-level detail.

The interest is often in the regional pattern: how a town relates to neighbouring places, transport routes, water, and higher ground. Bartholomew's coloured treatment of relief gives the maps much of their visual identity, making the shape of uplands and lowlands readable before individual labels are examined. This particular source was published in 1903.
