Description:
|
The map shows the island of Jura and also Colonsay, locating them by also including adjacent parts of Knapdale on the mainland to the east, the Ross of Mull to the north and Islay to the south. The coastal outline of Jura is foreshortened and Loch Tarbert is disproportionately wide. Settlement is confined almost entirely to the east coast of the island. The map was compiled from observation on the ground by Timothy Pont, in the last two decades of the sixteenth century. It was engraved in Amsterdam, for publication in Blaeu's Atlas Novus, first published in 1654.
