Scotland's historic counties, divided into their parishes, make up maps from Philip's Handy Atlas of the Counties of Scotland, constructed by John Bartholomew and published by George Philip & Son in issues of 1886–1891. The sheets follow nineteenth-century administrative geography, with names such as Edinburghshire, Haddingtonshire and Forfarshire, and smaller neighbours share a page, as Fife and Kinross, Stirling and Clackmannan, and Elgin and Nairn do. The Western Isles, Orkney and Shetland have their own maps, and enlarged environs sheets show the country around Edinburgh and Glasgow.
