It may be noted that the map depicts a large number of exclaves of counties, physically detatched from the county that they were politically deemed to be part of. Cromartyshire is particularly fragmentary, and its borders were achieved as late as 1685.
Several counties had alternate names
- Angus / Forfarshire
- Moray / Elginshire
- East Lothian / Haddingtonshire
- Midlothian / Edinburghshire
- West Lothian / Linlithgowshire
Dunbartonshire was also spelt 'Dumbartonshire' - the latter form would be more regular, as the county town remains Dumbarton. Kirkcudbrightshire was (and is) commonly called the 'Stewartry of Kirkcudbright', or just 'the Stewartry'.
Often Orkney and Zetland (Shetland) were treated as a single county, with Orkney being described an 'Earldom' and Zetland being described as a 'Lordship'. They constituted a single constituency for the Parliament of Scotland, and were counted together in the census. [2]
