Old Map of Edinburgh, 1580 by Georg Braun - Castle, City Walls, St Giles Cathedral, Old Town Size:A2 (420x594mm) Tottenham Court RoadPublished in 1580 by Georg Braun and Frans Hogenberg, this is the oldest full, true map of Edinburgh. If Shakespeare ever visited Edinburgh, this is what it would've looked like. This map was first published in Civitates Orbis Terrarum the Cities of the World which was a cartographical masterpiece featuring 546 maps. Originally handcoloured almost 450 years ago, this is one of the finest examples of this map that I've ever seen. This map looks great
