The antique map titled ‘Skia vel Skiana’, created in 1665, depicts an area in Scotland that includes Portree – Port Rìgh, Camustianavaig, and Achachork – Achadh a’ Choirce. The title translates to “shadow or Skye”, suggesting that it may show the Isle of Skye. The map provides a glimpse of the United Kingdom in the early 17th century, showcasing the rugged terrain and scattered settlements of the Scottish Highlands. While it may not be a comprehensive representation of the entire country, it offers a valuable insight into the geography and topography of the region during that time period.
