Description:
A map stretching from the west coast, inland to the watershed and from Coigach in the north to Glen Elchaig in the south, but incomplete between Gruinard Bay and Loch Kishorn. The map was compiled by Robert Gordon of Straloch (1580-1661), who acknowledges Timothy Pont as his source. Much but not all of the map derives from two separate maps by Pont which are now in the National Library of Scotland. Those two maps were evidently copied by Gordon and then attached to each other to comprise this single map. Unfortunately, there is a gap in the ground covered by the two originals, which was not appreciated by Gordon. Hence the gap in Gordon's map, in the vicinity of Loch Torridon.
