Description:
|
A map compiled by Robert Gordon of Straloch (1580-1661) sometime after 1633. It shows the Firth of Tay and Angus, including Edzell, Fofar and Arbroath in the east, and stretches west into Perthshire. Detail is very sparse and the map appears to be unfinished. A map by Timothy Pont, compiled in the last two decades of the sixteenth century and now in the National Library of Scotland, covers Angus in much greater detail, but differences suggest that Pont's map was not the source used by Gordon. The Pont map was mislaid in the seventeenth century and Gordon's map may represent the beginnings of his attempt to make good the loss.
