History/Scope	The late William Cuthbert, a well known Perth solicitor and long-term Member of the Royal Scottish Geographical Society, had a deep interest in early maps, particularly those relating to Scotland. After his death, his excellent collection of 300 early maps, 200 of which relate to Scotland, came into the Society's possession in 2000.
Notes:	System of arrangement: the items in the collection are stored together to maintain the integrity of the creator's original collection. Finding aids: the maps were listed in the Early maps Access table and these records were imported to the Maps and Images database as part of the HLF Images for All project.
