Join Nevis Hulme, retired Geography teacher and now place-name researcher, as he explores the history and significance of early maps of Wester Ross. This talk delves into maps from the 1500s to the 1800s, highlighting the role they played in shaping our understanding of place-names and geography. Nevis will guide you through notable early maps, including those by Ptolemy, Mercator, and Timothy Pont, and discuss how these maps not only document the landscape but also offer clues to lost place-names that are crucial to understanding the history of the region.
In addition to discussing the cartographers, the talk will explore the importance of these maps in preserving local history and heritage, as well as how they influenced the settlement patterns and social changes in Wester Ross. Nevis will also touch upon the ongoing relevance of these maps today and their contributions to modern place-name studies.
