‘General History of Scotland’ (1767)

I was only able to obtain volume 2 of this set, though I’ll keep an eye out for its volume 1 counterpart. This is William Guthrie’s ‘General History of Scotland’ (1767) and I bought it for the information it might contain. I was surprised with a wee bonus in the form of a disbound 48x43cm, highly detailed, Map of Scotland inside its front cover. It was pretty wrinkled and its top corner had torn off and remained attached to the binding. I carefully took this out and reattached it to the main body of the map before ironing it with hair straighteners (it works a treat) and scanning it for the Maps from Books section.
