This antique map, created in 1665, is titled ‘Cantyra Chersonesus’. Translated, this means the ‘Cantyre Peninsula’, which is located in southwest Scotland. The map also includes other areas of Scotland, as well as parts of England and Wales. In the early 17th Century, the United Kingdom was undergoing significant political and social changes, with the monarchy still in power but facing challenges from religious and political factions. The country was also embroiled in several conflicts, including the English Civil War and various conflicts with neighbouring countries. The map is likely to show geographical features such as coastlines, rivers, and mountain ranges, as well as settlements and transportation routes. However, specific places are not named, except for the central locations of Campbeltown, Ardminish, and Blackwaterfoot.
Some place names that may be covered by the map: Skipness, Rochanan Point, Glenbarr, Kilberry, Corrie, Beacharra Beacharr Standing Stone, Peninver, Muasdale, Tayinloan, Gigha, Organic Tannery, Cara Island, Polphail Village, Carradale

Giclée Print Feedback:
Absolutely stellar service! Whilst I was considering my purchase Callum was extremely helpful and friendly, taking the time to actually talk to me rather than keep to business – how refreshing and genuine! I made my purchase quite late in the evening and was surprised to receive notification that it had been dispatched the following day! Lo and behold, I received the print within 48 hours – a remarkably quick turnaround!
Certainly no need to worry about Christmas delivery times! As for the print I bought – perfect… exceptional quality, with fine detail captured without fault. It’s on nice thick paper and packaged with care. I’ll definitely be back for more – I’ve already eyed up my next one!
