Old Ordnance Survey Maps of Dumbartonshire Old Ordnance Survey Maps of Dumbartonshire
We have published a small selection of maps for towns in Dumbartonshire (or Dunbartonshire); we hope to bring out further titles in due course. The maps
complement those we publish for Lanarkshire and Renfrewshire.
All maps are available from our On-line Mapshop or from selected bookshops in the area. Each map includes a specially written introduction.
The following maps are all taken from the OS 25" maps and reduced to a scale of approximately 15 inches to the mile. They are extremely detailed, showing individual houses, details such as railway tracks, pathways, pubs, factories and even minutiae such as fountains and signal posts. Obviously they cover quite a small area, normally a mile by a mile and a half each. Click on the links below for further information on each map.
These are the maps we publish for Dumbartonshire:
Apart from the obvious local interest, the maps will be of especial interest to industrial archaeologists, with a wealth of detail concerning transport and industry, nowhere more so than on the Clydebank map, with its Clydebank Shipbuilding Works, where such liners as the Lusitania were built and the Kilbowie Factory where the Singer Manufacturing Co developed their great works, by the 1880s employing more than 5,000 making sewing machines.
The maps cost just £ 2.50 each. You can now order maps direct from our On-line Mapshop. For other information and postage costs, see Index Page and Ordering Information Page.
Most maps in the Godfrey Edition are taken from the 25 inch to the mile map and reduced to about 15 inches to the mile. For a full list of maps for Scotland, go to the Scotland page
