Uncolored chart of Shetland Isles and Orkney Islands with inset map of the south east coast of the Island of Unst (Shetland Isles). Title on verso of map. Relief shown by hachures. Depth shown by soundings. Prime meridian is Greenwich. Inset note: "These parts of the Coast which are shaded and finished are from Actual measurement, the Coast which remain only in outline and those places on it, names have a line under thus Wedderholm. I was prevented by the inclemency of weather from laying down exactly; but as some of the principal points, even there are determined I presume there can be no material error..."
