Description: Map showing the major British crown-organised and private-sector "plantations" (colonies) in Ireland from ca. 1550 to 1610. Colour-coded as to Scottish, English or a mixture (other than it is not clear that the privately organized plantations in Ulster varied in composition, but heavy toward the Scots side). This file is supplied as requested PNG replacement for an undesirable GIF, though the entire thing would be better redone as an SVG.
