Description:
|
A map of a part of mid-Deeside, showing the country to the east of Glen Tanar as far as Crathes. To the north of the Dee, where there are no signs to indicate hills, the settlement detail is in part duplicated by Gordon's map no. 29. On the south bank, settlement is located in uniformly hilly country along the Burn of Cattie above Potarch, and more substantially, along the Water of Feugh. 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, with the possibility of original additions by Gordon.
