''Scotiae Tabula'' is a historic map of Scotland created by the renowned cartographer Abraham Ortelius and first published in 1580. This map is part of Ortelius's seminal work, ''Theatrum Orbis Terrarum'', which is often considered the first modern atlas. ''Scotiae Tabula'' reflects the geographical knowledge of Scotland during the late 16th century and is notable for its detailed depiction of the Scottish landscape, including its rugged coastlines, mountains, and the locations of towns and cities.

The map is a fine example of the cartographic artistry and scientific approach that characterized the Renaissance period. It was created through the compilation of information from various sources, including earlier maps and descriptions provided by explorers and scholars. Ortelius's work was groundbreaking in that it standardized the size and format of maps, allowing for a comprehensive collection that could be bound into a book.

''Scotiae Tabula'' is not only a valuable historical document but also an artifact of cultural significance, as it provides insight into the perception and representation of Scotland's geography before the advent of modern surveying techniques. The map's intricate engravings, ornate lettering, and decorative elements are typical of Ortelius's style and of the period's aesthetic preferences.

As a piece of cartographic history, ''Scotiae Tabula'' has been studied by historians, geographers, and art historians alike. It remains an important reference for those interested in the history of cartography, the development of geographical knowledge in Europe, and the representation of Scotland in the early modern period. The map continues to be appreciated for its historical value and as a work of art, with original prints held in the collections of museums, libraries, and private collectors around the world.
