This is sheet 5 from the twelve sheets which make up the 'Map of Scotland', a folding map published by John Stockdale of Piccadilly in London. Mounted on linen, the map is dated 31 January 1806 and is to a scale of 3.5 miles to 1 inch.

This sheet covers much of the Highlands of Scotland including most of Ross-shire, and Inverness-shire. It also shows the Caledonian Canal which links Inverness to Corpach, near Fort William.
