A vertically oriented silk on woolen canvas embroidery depicts a map of Scotland on a muted cream background. Blue and brown stitched outlines define counties marked with black text. An inset box in the upper right shows the Shetland Islands, while a top-left inscription reads "MAP OF SCOTLAND M DONALDSON 1810." The rectangular textile features frayed edges and a small hole at the bottom left, reflecting its aged condition.
