Ordnance Survey - Selkirk county
Ordnance Survey was established in the 18th century to create maps, surveys and associated records for the entirety of Great Britain. These records are arranged by county. This entry has been created to enable searching for Ordnance Survey records for the county of Selkirk, which is in the south east of Scotland. The boundaries of the county were altered by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891.
