Description:
An uncompleted draft manuscript map compiled by Robert Gordon of Straloch (1580-1661), at an unknown date after 1633. The map is bounded by Jura and Skye in the west, and the Moray Firth and the Firth of Tay in the east. Within the coastline, much of the map is blank, containing only the main drainage lines. There is some detail, however, between the upper Spey and Loch Tay, and west into Knoydart, Morven and Lochaber. The perspective drawings of hills and the tree signs are diagrammatically drawn in lines. The alignment of the Great Glen is notably more accurate than on Gordon 3 (see images 00000183-00000185). Credit is given in an inscription to the surveyor Timothy Pont, as a source for part of the compilation. work_description An uncompleted draft manuscript map compiled by Robert Gordon of Straloch (1580-1661), at an unknown date after 1633.
