The next in our annual series of popular map day seminars features talks from nine speakers who have all been working on new research or projects relating to early maps of Scotland. The day will include papers on canal plans in the National Records of Scotland, the value of maps for researching urban history, the mapping of river boundaries, recent doctoral research on the Bartholomew map-makers, the funding and financing of surveyors and their county maps, Scottish mapmakers who emigrated to the Antipodes, and the latest mapping developments from Historic Environment Scotland.

The cost is £25 for the day, including morning coffee and a buffet lunch. Please book before 5 April.
