Ye Ruff Guide to Galway (17th century Pictorial Map to Galway)

This is a famous map of Galway from c. 1660 which you may have seen copies of around the place. An on-line version of NUI Galway's original copy is available on-line http://archives.library.nuigalway.ie/citymap There's some pretty intricate detail, recognize this place? Rag week?

That's curious, it's a different version to the one included in the 'Medieval Galway - A Ramblers Guide & Map' pack that I just bought in Easons last week... the second map in the pack has some great detail & ink drawings on the medieval doors and windows in various buildings around the town.. gotta say I was totally ignorant on how much there is to find.. :rolleyes: thanks L'eny!
