Description:
A large scale map of part of Buchan. Coverage extends from the North Ugie Water to the Ythan River, as far west as Fyvie. This part of the country was close to the home of the author, Robert Gordon of Straloch (1580-1661). The draft appears to be unfinished. The coverage overlaps in part with a map in the National Library of Scotland compiled by Timothy Pont in the last two decades of the sixteenth century. Pont's observations on the ground may in part be the source of Gordon's map, but they are not the only source, since the map does contain original information.
