ronnietucker Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 I do love me some old maps. Spotted this old one from 1850 showing the River Clyde with the entrance to Bowling Harbour and Bowling Basin and a part of the F&C canal. That's just a small section of the full map which is at: https://maps.nls.uk/coasts/admiralty/1250 For more old Admiralty charts of Scotland, see: https://maps.nls.uk/coasts/admiralty_charts_list.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendorr Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 (edited) I love to read old maps too. There's a wonderful site here http://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/side-by-side/#zoom=17&lat=53.7526&lon=-0.3387&layers=171&right=BingHyb which I notice is the same site you've linked to. It's a shame that sat navs are taking away many paper maps. Edited May 4, 2018 by Kev's Halcyon spelling mistake!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
