This antique map titled ‘Fifae Pars Occidentalis’ was created in 1665 and depicts the western part of Fife, Scotland. The title translates to ‘Western Part of Fife’. The United Kingdom in the early 17th century was a time of political and social change, with the Stuart monarchs ruling over a divided and turbulent nation. Scotland was still an independent kingdom, but tensions with England were high. The economy was based largely on agriculture and trade, with many small towns and villages dotted throughout the countryside. The map may show some of these settlements, including Cowdenbeath, Cardenden, and Lochgelly, which were located centrally in the region. Overall, the map provides a glimpse into what life might have been like in this part of Scotland over three hundred years ago.

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!
