Johnston's "Three miles to inch" map of Scotland, ca. 1895-1912

These three sets of series maps of Scotland by the Edinburgh-based firm of W. & A.K. Johnston, covered all of Scotland in sixteen sheets at a scale of 'three miles to the inch' or 1:190,080. The scale is particularly useful for giving a regional overview of the landscape, showing the main travel infrastructure by rail, steamer or car. The initial series published from around 1895 coloured the counties in blocks of separate colour. The second series published from around 1898, highlighted county boundaries in colour, with roads, woodland and water features coloured in red, green and blue. The third series published around 1912, used hypsometric tints of colour to show altitude or relief, along similar lines to Bartholomew, from shades of green and beige for land close to sea level, to shades or orange and purple for higher mountains.
