CLOTH Map. No' 8 (of 23) sheet in the series. Published in 1947, covering the south-west corner of Scotland at a scale of approximately 4 miles to 1 inch.
Designed for the motoring traveller of the post-war era, it charts the roads, settlements, and landscape between Dumfries and the Stranraer peninsula - gateway to Ireland via the short sea crossing.

The Publisher
John Bartholomew & Son Ltd was a renowned Scottish cartographic firm founded in Edinburgh in 1826, becoming a leading name in mapmaking over six generations. Famous for high-quality atlases, "half-inch" road maps, and pioneering layer-coloured contour maps, the firm was absorbed by HarperCollins in 1989, though the name continues through digitisation.
