Description:
A map of upper Strath Don in two parts, from the source eastwards to Alford and the Suie Burn flowing from the Correen Hills on the north bank, and to the Loechel Burn, the Howe of Cushnie and the Corse Burn on the south bank. Much detail of settlement is evident, including castles such as Corgarff, Kildrummy and Craigievar. The map was compiled by Robert Gordon of Straloch (1580-1661), at an unknown date after 1633. Gordon relied heavily on the observations of Timothy Pont, compiled in the last two decades of the sixteenth century, but the fact that this was close to Gordon's home area implies that there may be an element of originality in the map.
