Description:
A map of southeast Sutherland, including Strath Brora, Strath Oykel and Strath Carron. There is much pre-clearance settlement detail, particularly of the two more southern Straths. The coverage and content of this manuscript map by Robert Gordon of Straloch (1580-1661) and of Blaeu's map of 'Southerlandia' first published in his 'Atlas Novus' in 1654, are so similar that they must have been compiled from the same source. They were compiled from a manuscript map of Caithness compiled by Timothy Pont from observations on the ground in the last two decades of the sixteenth century and subsequently lost.
