Description:
|
A second map of the coastline of southeast Sutherland and Easter Ross, from Dunrobin Castle in the north to the southern shore of the Moray Firth in the south, including Dornoch and Cromarty Firths, as well as Loch Shin and Loch Ness. The map is similar, but not identical in coverage and content to Robert Gordon's map no. 16 (see component no. 222). Only a small number of locations are named, mainly the more prominent places. The map was compiled by Robert Gordon of Straloch (1580-1661), at an unknown date after 1633. The main source of the compilation is likely to be the observations of Timothy Pont, in the last two decades of the sixteenth century.
