Anyone who has studied the history of Scotland has run into the names of various districts that no longer exist (at least, under the same name) as political entities, e.g. Breadalbane, Atholl, Badenoch, and Lochaber. It doesn't help that the boundaries and names of local governmental entities in Scotland seem to have shifted several times in the past half-century.

So anyway, I was pleased to find a number of maps of historic districts of Scotland on Wikipedia. The problem is, these maps are very low resolution, very rough, the set of maps is incomplete, and there is no master map. Also, they seem to have been uploaded around 2006 and 2007. I think Wikipedia could do with a new map or set of maps in SVG format, but that's not exactly why I'm posting.

The reason I'm posting is that, because I was unable to find a good-quality map of these historic districts of Scotland, I recently took it upon myself to create a master map using Wikipedia's map of Tweeddale as a template:



See here for licensing information.

Most of the district names come from maps on Wikipedia, while some I looked up here. I am not certain about some of the identifications, particularly of the district between Atholl and the Mearns, which I have tentatively identified as "Gowrie" based on this map.

Also note that many of these districts, especially in the Lowlands, have more than one name.

Any corrections or clarifications would be most welcome.
