Summary
| Description |
English: Scotland Beyond The Sea: a detail from the Matthew Paris map of Britain, c.1250 Paris was a Benedictine monk of the abbey at St. Albans. He died in 1259.
The Scottish heartland (Alba) is perceived as an almost separate island reached by Stirling Bridge and situated beyond the Firth of Forth and an unidentified firth in the west. Mediaeval English chroniclers refer to the Firth of Forth as 'the Scottish Sea'. Scotland north of the Moray Firth (seemingly confused with the River Tay) is shown pointing eastwards to Scandinavia; an error copied from Ptolemy's map from the 2nd Century AD.
