The Heart of Scotland. Gleneagles. [Cover: The Gleneagles Map of the Heart of Scotland shewing 5,000 Square Miles of Highlands & Lowlands around Gleneagles Hotel]
Featured in Tim Bryars and Tom Harper’s A History of the Twentieth Century in 100 Maps, this LMS pictorial map was produced to promote Gleneagles Hotel, the “Riviera of the Highlands”, which opened in 1924. W. & A. K. Johnston’s oval composition places Gleneagles at the heart of 5,000 square miles of Scottish Highlands and Lowlands, from Balmoral to the Borders and Mull to the North Sea. Roads and railways thread shaded hills, while castles and country houses appear in profile. Literary associations include Rob Roy Country, Lady of the Lake Country and the probable route of David Balfour in Robert Louis Stevenson’s Kidnapped. An inset charts the LMS railway network, and the map folds into pictorial covers bearing its original price of half a crown.
