Published at the War Office in 1933, this "1940 WAR EDITION" Ordnance Survey of Scotland map covers Berwickshire to East Lothian. It illustrates how unprepared Britain was at the outbreak of the Second World War with no military bases being shown (AJP Taylor's "English History 1914-1945" gives a more detailed account of how England and Scotland were left unprotected in the 1930's).
