Putting Scotland on the map
‘We can have faith in Scotland’s future with young writers like this.’ – Meaghan Delahunt
Atlas of Scotland: A Vision of a Nation
Produced as a visually striking hardback book, the Atlas of Scotland uses hand-drawn maps and illustrations to tell Scotland’s story. It explores in detail how Scotland was made, its history and culture, as well as its long standing as one of the ancient kingdoms of Europe. The Atlas was described as “an extraordinary vision of the country” by First Minister Nicola Sturgeon.
