This endearing map of Scotland, with north oriented to the right, is filled with towns, counties, rivers and mountains. The map is based on Ortelius' map of 1573 with Isle of Arran and the Hebrides omitted. It features a strapwork cartouche, a fox holding dividers above the scale, and two battling ships. Engraved by Henricus Nagel. German text on verso.
