Description:
A manuscript map drawn by Robert Gordon of Straloch (1580-1661) at an unknown date, from the manuscripts of Timothy Pont compiled in the last two decades of the sixteenth century. It is an unfinished map with little more than the coastline and a few westward flowing rivers, stretching from the River Kirkaig in the north to Loch Hourn in the south. Thirteen sea lochs are named, not all of them as they are known today, including Lochs Broom, Ewe, Gairloch, Torridon, Kishorn, Carron, Alsh, Long and Duich. Eilean Donan Castle is one of the few references to human habitation.
