We have several historic geological maps of Scotland in our collection, and you can view a selection on our website https://t.co/2cO75EVdPI. Archibald Geikie's 1876 map https://t.co/LfeeZvPnEQ would be contemporary with the map of Ireland by Griffiths and Jukes.

John G. Bartholomew used his cartographic skills to perfect the method of layer-colouring of relief. This can be seen in the beautiful and informative half-inch to the mile mapping, which became one of the firm's trademark series. https://t.co/bQzr5jFwbF
