Moll's large-format map of Scotland from a 1715, first issue of "The World Described", a collection of thirty large, double-sided maps. Flanked by a chart of the Orkneys and Shetlands, and eleven views of Scottish cities, engraved by John Kip.

Moll was very political and often used the blank areas of his large-format maps to express his views, for example his dislike of the Dutch & French, especially their mapmakers. (See MapForum.Com: Issue 6, Treacle & Vinegar). Here his target is not foreigners (Moll was a German emigré!), but the failure to capitalise on Scotland's resources. He marks the fishing grounds and states "if things were rightly managed, there would be no reason to go to Norway for wood or New-found-land for fish; seeing North Britain can Plentifully furnish us with both".
