Description:
A small scale map of England, with the east coast of Scotland and southeast Ireland.

The map names and locates coastal features, rivers, towns and tribal territories. The manuscript is in the hand of Robert Gordon of Straloch (1580-1661), a chorographer who was known to be interested in the history of the Romans in Britain. The exact date of its compilation is not known. work_description A small scale map of England, with the east coast of Scotland and southeast Ireland.
