Description:
A large map at a relatively large scale, drawn on a sheet made up from several smaller sheets, later trimmed on the southern margin. Coverage is of part of Aberdeenshire. On the west, the map extends as far as Huntly (Strathbogie) (shown on an inset), Rhynie (with a profile of Tap o' Noth), Alford and Kincardine O'Neil. To the north, the map includes the Hill of Tillymorgan (in profile), Methlick and Dudwick. In the south, the boundary approximates to the River Dee. Within these limits, coverage is both detailed and incomplete. The map was compiled by Robert Gordon of Straloch (1580-1661), at an unknown date, probably drawing on both his own knowledge and the late sixteenth century observations of Timothy Pont.
