Description:
A map of Buchan, from Boddam on the coast, west to Fyvie and north to Troup Head, including Peterhead and Fraserburgh. The map was compiled by Robert Gordon of Straloch (1580-1661) at an unknown date. The detailed depiction of settlement bears comparison with a manuscript map in the National Library of Scotland compiled by Timothy Pont in the last two decades of the sixteenth century. There are, however, a significant number of names shown by Gordon in the area of overlap of the two drafts which were not recorded on Pont's map. There are also omissions, in comparison with Pont. Gordon's map may, therefore, be based in part on the work of Pont, but it is in part original.
