    1. [BUT] Old Maps

    3. One excellent site for old maps is that of the National Library of Scotland. This I have found is a lot easier to navigate around than the old-maps.co.uk site. This is something I have been doing rather a lot of as we are putting together a placename list for Scotland to assist with census transcription. There are about 10,000 placenames we are sorting through which will be purely identified by county so as you can imagine, it is fairly slow work. I'll let you know when and where it is available. The URL for the NLS site is; http://www.nls.uk/digitallibrary/map/early/index.html In my spare time, (joke) I'm working on a Bute placename list with the various spelling variations though that too is slow work. In the meantime, the following are the places listed in the 1891 census, as per the spelling used then. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~buteshire1841/Address.htm Cheers all, Bill Coord for Buteshire FreeCen project
