Geological Survey of Scotland, Six-Inch to the Mile graphic

This detailed set of geological maps use Ordnance Survey six-inch to the mile maps as their topographic base, but with a geological overprint. For the first edition maps, the geology is usually hand-coloured, and for second and later edition maps, it is usually printed lithographically in brown.

This is all our out-of-copyright holdings of these geological maps, which focus on areas with economically valuable geology.

1st edition, 1850-1875
2nd and later editions, 1900s-1940s
Horizontal and Vertical Sections, 1862-1938

The dates of geological survey work are rarely given on the sheets, and so we have included the dates of Ordnance Survey topographic survey/revision and of Geological Survey publication.
