Edinburgh 1956-1957 map from Cassini reproducing old Ordnance Survey mapping of Scotland presented in a format designed to offer a convenient comparison with the present day coverage from the OS.
Old maps have been combined so that the sheet lines correspond to the current Landranger series map No. 66 and are reproduced with the scale changed from one inch to one mile to 1:50,000.
Cassini historical maps present the city and the surrounding area at 1:50,000 as mapped by:
* Scottish First Edition 1857-1869 in black and white and with relief shown by hachuring
* Scottish Third Edition 1905-1907
* Scottish Popular Edition 1926-1928 with contour lines and colouring to indicate woodlands, parks, etc
* OS Seventh Series 1956-1957
Each map includes notes on the development of Ordnance Survey and the various series produced by them. For those interested in maps and cartography in general, the Cassini series also provides a fascinating insight into how Ordnance Survey cartographic style has developed over a period of over 100 years.
