Synopsis

Like the highly acclaimed exhibition which preceded it, this book makes use of the extensive plans holdings of the National Archives of Scotland (formerly the Scottish Record Office) to illustrate the great change on the face of the country. A selection from the 100,000 plans gives a flavour of this unique collection, to show the value of these sources for many aspects of Scotland's past and to display snapshots of the landscape through three centuries of change.
