Abstract
The thousands of plans of Scottish estates produced in the late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth centuries comprise a resource of huge potential for the study of the development of the Scottish rural landscape. These plans become all the more important once it is appreciated that in some parts of Scotland elements of eighteenth-century landscapes have survived two centuries of improvement, and can be studied on the ground as well as in map archives. Using the example of RCAHMS fieldwork on Lochtayside, Perthshire, this paper offers an approach for best-fitting estate plans to the modern map using GIS technology so that they can be compared directly with data from archaeological field survey, thus adding considerable value to both forms of evidence.
