Description:
|
A map of Lochaber, from Loch Lochy and the River Spean, southwest to Loch Linnhe, Loch Leven and Glen Coe. Much of the content is of hills, trees and rivers drawn diagrammatically, except that Ben Nevis is given prominence. 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, although a map by Pont, covering a part of Gordon's map and now in the National Library of Scotland, shows many differences.
