Thanks to Griffiths Valuation and the accompanying maps on www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-val... I've been able to find the precise location of the house that the soldier I'm currently researching lived and died in. He served in the British Army between 1805 and 1814.

I'm up in Edinburgh for a few days and I nearly missed #MappyMonday
Here's a detail from the 1763 edition of John Laurie's map of Midlothain which, unusually, is orientated with 'North' at the bottom of the map. Cramond village is, of course, on the south bank of the Firth of Forth.

#MappyMonday to you all!
I've been enjoying this 1794 map of The Country Round Manchester, the work of John Aikin (or Aiken).
The thicker black lines are, of course, canals rather than railway lines and this map captures the area as it approaches the height of "canal mania".
