A disintegrating rare antique map, found during building work on a house in Aberdeenshire, is being put on public show after restoration work at the National Library of Scotland.
The near-ruined 17th century map was delivered to the Library bundled up in a plastic sack but, after painstaking work carried out over several months, the detail it contains is once more revealed.
It has been revealed to be a late 17th century wall map of the world produced by the Dutch engraver Gerald Valck and there are only two other known copies in existence.
It has become known as the chimney map because it was first said to have been found stuffed up a chimney.
It now appears that it was found under a floorboard when a ceiling was taken down during renovations in the 1980s on a house that was once part of the Castle Fraser estate near Kemnay to the west of Aberdeen.
