Charles Goad Fire Insurance Plans of Scottish Towns, 1880s-1940s

The National Library of Scotland now has online 230 Goad Fire Insurance Plans of Scottish Towns. These very detailed maps cover the main industrial areas of seven towns and cities in Scotland, and date from the late 19th century through to the mid-20th century. 

These maps often are annotated with the names of particular companies or institutions at the location.

Find maps for Campbeltown, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow (many), Greenock, Leith, and Paisley. Sadly, none for Aberdeen.

Also new online from the NLS, a collection of 102 specialised early maps, plans and profiles relating to Bridges, Canals and Railways.
