Description:
A map of Eddrachillis, from the southern shore of Loch Achairn Bhain, north as far as Strath Shinary and inland as far as Saval Beg, Saval More and the west end of Loch Shin. The map was drawn by Robert Gordon of Straloch (1580-1661) in 1636 and is a close copy of a less legible map which is extant in the National Library of Scotland and was compiled by Timothy Pont in the last two decades of the sixteenth century. The diagrammatic outline of Loch Crocach and the text adjacent demonstrates that Pont drew features in accordance with verbal descriptions, rather than personal observation, a practice which was evidently acceptable to Robert Gordon.
