Book Proof

News Flash: Progress Update on Stewart Book

The first "Proof" copy of the Stewart Book was received yesterday from the printer. There have been some suggestions for the cover and back page, but no one has contributed any thing.
For anyone that is interested, I am posting two maps from the book. See if you can find their location in Scotland. HINT: Perthshire.

Stewart Map No. 6 is an 1867 map showing the layout of Loch Tummel and River Tummel before the dam was built close to the bridge in 1948. It was so them English fellers could have more electrucity in Londown. So both maps are of the same area, just with different things, like more water layen' around, on em.
Additional information: Double click on the maps and the full size maps will open. 
HAVEN'T PEAKED YOUR INTEREST YET??? On both maps is an arrow showing the location of Ceann na Coile. This is the location of the the farm where my GGGG Grandfather, Alexander Stewart had a Tenant Farm on the Foss Estate. Where eight of his children were born.
