Scotland : One-inch Third Edition : Outline edition with contemporary hand-colouring

A 'set' of the mainland sheets, numbers 1 to 117 inclusive, dissected on cloth and held within three leather cases, all in excellent bright condition.

All sheets have contemporary hand colouring of county boundaries, green woods, blue water and red railways, making the original black and white maps very attractive.

Maps are held within three grey leather cases, each measuring 9" x 9.5" x 8", with gilt lettering to the top surface of each case. The leather appears to be of a quite thick 'skin', possibly elephant or rhino. Each case has a series index sheet plus the maps.
