A large and uncommon nineteenth century map of Scotland, published by Henry Teesdale in his New British Atlas.

In the latter part of his career, following the 1832 publication of his Improved New British Atlas, Teesdale collaborated with a number of the other leading British map makers of the era, including Dower and Greenwood.
